The 22-year-old racked up a long list of accolades last season, including 20 goals, 13 assists and being named League One’s Player of the Season.

With Dons failing to secure promotion, speculation surrounding his future was rife with Hull City and Sheffield United also linked with bids for the attacker.

Earlier this week, Liam Manning said bids had been put in for Twine but none had matched Dons’ valuation for the player.

However according to Football League Insider, Burnley, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, have tabled a bid which has met their expectations and a move is edging closer.

The move would come after Harry Darling also departed the club this week, swapping Milton Keynes for Championship side Swansea City.
