Nottingham Forest and Millwall are the two Championship clubs reportedly keen to sign Max Clark from Hull City.

The chances of Max Clark leaving Hull City this summer seem larger than ever.

The 22-year-old left-back is set to become a free agent at the end of this month when his contract expires. And the Hull Daily Mail report that there is an impasse between both player and club.

While Clark would be happy to remain at his boyhood team, it is understood that Hull have refused to budge on their initial contract offer, which was made all the way back in September. And the report suggests that it is unlikely that Hull will put a new offer on the table now with time ticking down.

So it looks almost inevitable that Clark will find himself without a club soon. But do not expect him to remain a freebie for long.

The Hull Daily Mail suggests that Nottingham Forest remain interested in Clark, who enjoyed a fine breakthrough campaign in 2017/18 with 25 starts in the Championship.

Aitor Karanka’s side desperately need a new left-back despite Armand Traore returning following a loan spell at Cardiff City and Clark fits the bill. He is an energetic and dynamic player who offers plenty of quality going forward with his impressive deliveries into the box.

With the report adding that Millwall and Vitesse Arnhem, now managed by former Hull boss Leonid Slutsky, are also interested, Nottingham Forest should not wait around.
