Hull City have joined Crystal Palace, Swansea, Brighton, Preston, Wigan and Doncaster Rovers in the race to sign Greenock Morton winger Jai Quitongo, as per a report in the Daily Mail.
The 19-year-old has been identified by numerous clubs as a potential star and it looks like it’s just a matter of time before he leaves Morton.
The Scottish side turned down a bid of £100,000 from Doncaster in the summer but with his contract expiring at the end of the season, he’s likely to be sold in January.
He is free to talk to clubs once the window opens ahead of a summer move but Premier League Clubs like Hull, Palace and Swansea might choose to pay a fee to take him immediately rather than wait until the summer.
That way, they can forgo the need to have a tribunal set a fee and minimise the risk of him signing for another club.
The winger is such a talent that Portugal have asked him to consider playing for their U21 side rather than Scotland.
