The reported Hull City target has scored four goals for Motherwell this season.
Hull boss is said to be ‘on the lookout for a pacy, technically-gifted wide player’ like Cadden, who has scored four goals and created two in seven league and cup outings this season.

However, the Tigers may have to move fast with several English sides keen according to The Scottish Sun.
Cadden, 20, came through the ranks at Motherwell and has played 76 times for the Fir Park outfit in total, scoring 11 goals and creating eight.
And the Scotland Under-21 international can play in a number of positions, including right wing-back, which will surely appeal to Hull after Ahmed Elmohamady’s sale to Aston Villa.
Under contract until until 2019, the report claims Cadden will ‘not come cheap’, although the Tigers have made a profit of around £20 million on players this summer (Transfermarkt).

Scottish giants Rangers have previously been credited with interest in Cadden, for whom Hearts had a bid turned down earlier in the window.
Would Cadden be a good signing for Hull?
