HITC Sport understands West Ham are on the verge of signing the Hull star, who has also been linked with Burnley and Middlesbrough.

West Ham are on the verge of winning the race for Hull City midfielder Robert Snodgrass, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

The Hammers, Middlesbrough and Burnley have all tabled offers of £10 million for the 29-year-old after Hull reluctantly agreed to sell their prize asset.

Scotland international Snodgrass, who moved to Hull from Norwich in June 2014 for £6m, has scored 12 goals in 28 appearances for club and country so far this season.

Snodgrass missed last weekend’s defeat at Chelsea with what manager Marco Silva described as “a small injury in the knee” and he was again missing for Thursday’s EFL Cup semi-final clash with Manchester United.

West Ham is understood to be Snodgrass’ preferred choice out of the three interested clubs and sources have told HITC Sport that the 29-year-old is set to meet with West Ham after travelling to London for talks.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is a big admirer of Snodgrass and he sees him as an ideal replacement for wantaway midfieler Dmitri Payet with the Frenchman expected to rejoin Marseille before the close of the transfer window next week.
