Sheffield United, a rival team in Yorkshire, is expected to show less interest in acquiring Kieffer Moore, a striker for Bournemouth, than HULL CITY.
Throughout the off-season, the 31-year-old has been a target for the Tigers, with the East Yorkshire team expected to prevail in the competition for his services. The player has enjoyed successful stints in the White Rose with Rotherham United and Barnsley.
The Welsh international, who helped Ipswich Town earn promotion to the Premier League by spending the second part of the previous campaign on loan, has continued to draw interest from the Blades.
Moore is likely to join Tim Walter’s team soon for their warm-weather training in Turkey, having reportedly accepted terms with Hull.
Along with Hull and the Blades, Moore’s previous club, Cardiff, had also been linked to a move this summer.
Moore would be Hull’s second acquisition of the off-season, as the team primarily focused on departures as Jaden Philogene and Jacob Greaves were headed to the Premier League.
Hull have recalled forward Oscar Estupinan from a loan spell in Brazil.
Middlesbrough has set its sights on Ryan Giles, City’s other summer addition, who joined the team after a buyout provision was added to his original loan agreement.
So far, the Blades have added two players: Jamie Shackleton, a former Leeds United utility player, and Sam McCallum, a former left-back for Norwich City and Coventry City.
