The Hibernian front-man is reportedly wanted by Sunderland and Glasgow Rangers, but the bookies think Leeds United and Celtic are in the running too.

Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have listed the Whites and the Hoops as third favourites to sign Hibs star Jason Cummings, behind Glasgow Rangers and Sunderland.

The 21-year-old forward has been widely tipped to leave Easter Road this summer, with the Daily Record reporting of the Black Cats and Rangers’ interest in the left-footed striker.

Leeds enjoyed a relatively successful campaign on the whole this term, but fell at the final hurdle, taking just three points from their final five league outings, when nine would have been enough to secure a play-off berth.

Garry Monk will undoubtedly have to strenghten his options over the summer, if he is still in charge at Elland Road of course, and the addition of Cummings would be the ideal place to start.

He would compliment Chris Wood perfectly, with his more technical, intelligent style of play ideally suited to combine with someone of the New Zealand international’s more robust manner.

Celtic, on the other hand, have been nothing less than spectacular on the domestic front this term, but Brendan Rodgers will still be looking to bolster his striking options.

He has scored 23 goals in 42 appearances for Hibs this season, and would undoubtedly improve any of the sides he is linked with.

And BETVICTOR have made the Glasgow giants the new 6/1 third favourites to sign the Scotland under-21 international, along with the West Yorkshire outfit at the same price.

They make Sunderland and Rangers 3/1 joint favourites to sign the Hibs man, however.

With the summer transfer window just around the corner, this will certainly be one to keep an eye on.
