Leicester City have gone ahead of Tottenham Hotspur as the club most likely to sign Hull City’s Harry Maguire, according to Sky Bet.

Sky Bet have Spurs as 9/4 second favourites to land him, while Leicester are a short-priced 6/4.

Everton and Newcastle United are both third favourites at 7/1.

The Hull Daily Mail reported at the end of May that it would take a £22 million bid to prise him from the KCOM Stadium this summer.
