The Hull City player has been linked with a move to West Ham United.
According to a recent report from the Irish Sun, West Ham United are planning to swoop for another Hull City player, this time defender Harry Maguire.
The Hammers recently added Robert Snodgrass to their ranks and now the impressive centre-back could soon be the subject of a £9million bid.
In short, a move would be a masterstroke for West Ham manager Slaven Bilic, with Maguire quickly becoming one of the most impressive central defenders in the Premier League.
Given Hull’s struggles at the wrong end of the table, it is easy to overlook Maguire’s impact at the KCOM Stadium. But for those who have been paying attention, the 23-year-old has put in a wonderful run of performances that would make a £9million move a no-brainer for the Hammers.
Hull will not want to lose him, and if he continues on his current trajectory he will be worth considerably more in the years to come, however it will be down to the club’s owners just how highly they rate a player over the cash injection his unwelcome exit would bring.
Maguire is the real deal, and he would offer West Ham more defensive stability not just in the short-term – like Jose Fonte – but for the next decade.
He would also be able to learn a lot from Bilic, who knows a thing or two about defending at the highest level.
If Maguire to West Ham goes ahead it would not be a deal that attracts the most fanfare, but it could, ultimately, prove to be one of the best for many a year.
