Norwich City have been credited with an interest in MK Dons midfielder Scott Twine, as per an exclusive Football League World report. 

The report states that Burnley and Rangers are also in pursuit of the exciting attacking midfielder, with several Championship clubs monitoring his situation too.

A Nottinghamshire Live report revealed that Nottingham Forest held interest in the exciting midfielder in January.

Twine has scored 13 times and has registered nine assists for the Dons this season, proving to be a vital part of Liam Manning’s side.

Three of our writers here at FLW have shared their thoughts regarding Norwich’s interest in Twine…

Twine has been difference class this season with 13 goals and eight assists in 28 league appearances, an astonishing total the 22-year-old can be proud of.

For the Canaries, this could be a shrewd acquisition because he still has plenty of room to improve at 22 and it does look as though he’s already destined for the second tier.

Whether he’s ready for the top tier remains to be seen at the moment though and this point is particularly relevant with Dean Smith’s men giving themselves a fighting chance of survival.

It would seem like a waste to purchase him and not utilise him – but if they can loan him out to a second-tier side (if they remain in the PL) and see how he develops – then this could be a player worth investing in.

This signing would definitely be one with one eye on the long term though.
