SkyBet have slashed the odds on Hull City star moving to Middlesbrough this month.

Popular bookmakers SkyBet have slashed the odds on Middlesbrough signing Hull City’s Robert Snodgrass this month, cutting them into 9/4 second favourites, after being as long as 16/1 just last week.

The Scotland international has been heavily linked with an exit from the KCOM Stadium, with West Ham United reportedly having had a bid rejected for the 29-year-old already (BBC Sport).

And SkyBet still consider the Hammers as favourites for the Hull man’s signature, listing them at 7/4, but have drastically slashed Middlesbrough’s odds, and now have them as second favourites in the race.

SkyBet make the likes of Crystal Palace and Aston Villa outsiders in the race to sign Snodgrass, at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.

The Tigers winger would be a fantastic addition to Aitor Karanka’s squad, should they manage to prise him away from the KCOM.

He has wonderful ability on the ball, a keen eye for a killer pass, and is renowned for his ability from set-pieces.

And with the signing of Rudy Gestede already completed, the addition of someone like Snodgrass could prove to be hugely beneficial to the striker’s chances of success on Teesside.
