Sky Sports | Football | Transfer Centre | Speculation | Tykes - No Hume bid

Barnsley boss Mark Robins has said he is yet to receive an offer for striker Iain Hume.

The 26-year-old has become available on loan after being told there is no guarantee of regular football with the Tykes.

Preston have emerged as likely contenders for his signature, while Robins has revealed he has held talks with other clubs but is yet to receive a genuine offer.

The Tykes boss insists that, regardless of any approach, a deal will only be done if it suits both club and player.

"I have had a conversation or two with clubs about Iain Hume but so far nothing has happened," Robins told the club's official website.

"We will not rush into anything until something happens that is right for all parties.

"If it doesn't then Iain will stay with us and continue to work very hard."

Barnsley Striker To Go
With just two days to go until the summer transfer window closes, the rumours about Iain Hume leaving Barnsley are still circulating.

Preston North End have been cited as one of the clubs interested in the Canadian International, but yesterday after the victory over Middlesbrough at Oakwell, Mark Robins revealed that Brighton & Hove Albion had thrown their hat into the ring.

Hume's first club Tranmere Rovers are also considered to be contenders for his signature. He made 100 league starts for The Rovers before leaving in 2005 for £500,000 to join Leicester City.

Simon Davey brought Hume to Barnsley for £1.2m in 2008 but his Barnsley career was blighted by a fractured skull just a few months in after a collision with Sheffield United's Chris Morgan in a hot tempered clash at Oakwell.

Since completing his recovery it's been a frustrating time for Hume at Barnsley as he's been in and out of the side and, despite the supporters' admirable patience, he hasn't been the same player since the injury.

Mark Robins has told the BBC however, that he is in no rush to offload Hume, unless an acceptable offer comes in for him, but Barnsley will probably be open to most cash offers, since Hume can leave next summer for free.
