The Leicester City hitman is reportedly wanted by West Bromwich Albion, but the bookies believe that Hull City are well in the race to sign him too.

Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed the Tigers as surprise outsiders in the race to sign Foxes hitman Ahmed Musa.

The 24-year-old made the move to the King Power Stadium from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be in the region of £16.6 million, but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular for Leicester, making just seven Premier League starts last term.

He still has plenty of quality and a lot to offer at the highest level though, and maybe he just needs a change of scenery to help breath fire back into his flagging career.

According to the Mirror, his next destination could be West Bromwich Albion, with the Baggies interested in signing him on loan this summer.

SkyBET list Tony Pulis’ side as 4/1 second favourites for Musa’s signature, behind Fenerbahce at 3/1, although the surprising candidates on the list are Hull City at 6/1.

Whilst it will obviously be difficult for Leonid Slutsky to tempt the Foxes hitman into choosing his Tigers side over a move to a Premier League club, the offer of regular first-team football could be enough to tip the scales in Hull’s favour.
