The Liverpool talent is available to leave on loan apparently.
Grant McCann has revealed that he wants to re-sign Liverpool talent Herbie Kane, this time for Hull City.
The 20-year-old impressed under McCann during a loan spell with League One side Doncaster Rovers last term.
But the new Hull boss is desperate to bring the Liverpool youngster to the KC Stadium now.
McCann claims that the Reds have made him available for loan, but does not yet know if the Tigers will be able to beat other ‘big clubs’ to his signature.
“Herbie’s top class, he really is,” he told BBC Radio Humberside’s Sportstalk. “He’s a Liverpool player. He will be going out on loan, I know that for sure. Would we like him? Yes. Could we get him? I’m not sure.
“He’s a player we definitely like. I would hope [working with him last season] would put us in the driving seat a little bit but there’s some big clubs in for him. We’ll have to wait and see.”
Kane, who made 49 appearances under McCann last term, is nowhere near Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans at the moment.
And he is clearly too advanced to be playing for Liverpool’s Under-23s, which means that another loan is by far the most logical step here.
Given his history with McCann, Hull might have a bit of an advantage, especially if the European champions feel that the Northern Irish manager brought him on in his development last term, but time will tell.
