Nigel Adkins’ Hull are reportedly trying to add another to their fearsome attack, with Barrow wanted from Championship strugglers Reading.

Hull City have made a £2 million bid to sign Reading winger Modou Barrow, according to Football London.

Nigel Adkins’ side have been in a terrific run of form in recent months, establishing themselves as potential dark horses to secure a play-off place this season.

And, with 41 goals to their name, the Tigers’ attack has mauled many a Championship defence with Jarrod Bowen, Kamil Grosicki and Fraser Campbell in excellent nick.

But, according to Football London, Hull are still keen to add another speedy forward to their ranks. They want to sign Barrow on loan this month in a deal that would become permanent for £2 million in the summer.

Gambia international Barrow moved to Britain from Ostersunds in 2014 and joined Reading three years later after an inconsistent spell at Swansea City. He has produced three assists in 21 games for the Royals this season but has just one goal to his name, far below his tally of ten from 2017/18.

The report adds that Barrow is happy with life at Reading and enjoys the free-flowing tactics introduced by Jose Gomes.
