Leeds United fans are hoping the Whites will win the race to sign free agent striker Abel Hernandez.

The forward is free to sign with his next club and could be unveiled as soon as his Hull contract formally expires on June 30.

It is likely a declaration could then come on July 1 from Hernandez, resolving the issue of where he will play his football next season.

Abel Hernandez of Hull City celebrates scoring during the Sky Bet Championship match between Hull City and Queens Park Rangers at KCOM Stadium on April 7, 2018 in Hull, England.

Leeds United are hoping to win the race, with the Yorkshire Evening Post reporting they have held advanced talks with him.

Hernandez posted a picture on his Instagram yesterday of his new haircut, not quite the big news update fans were waiting for.

Perhaps it is a sign he is gearing up to be presented to the media by his new club; but it just won’t be tomorrow at Marcelo Bielsa’s opening Leeds press conference.

This is because Hernandez’s barber is in Uruguay, meaning he is not even in England to be presented by Leeds.

If he is Elland Road bound, fans will have to continue to wait.
