Hal Robson-Kanu edging closer to Premier League new-boys Hull move as he looks set to reject £100,000-a-week China deal
Free agent has received offers from around the world after helping fire Wales to the Euro 2016 semi-final
HAL ROBSON-KANU is edging closer to a move to Hull City as he looks set to reject a mega money £100,000-a-week switch to China.
It is believed Wales' Euro 2016 hero favours a move to the Premier League newcomers and Tigers boss Steve Bruce was due to speak to his father on Saturday morning.
Robson-Kanu is currently on holiday, where he is thinking over a four-year deal with the Yorkshire club.
He told the BBC: "We are booked in for talks with him and to see him in the next few days.
"Do we intend to offer him a deal? Yes. I think Hal is a good age, has had a sort of rebirth if you like, of playing through the middle, because before that he has played wide most of the time.
"He is big, strong, powerful, quick and somebody who runs the other way, in football terms. I know we have got competition, so let’s see what we can do."
Should Robson-Kanu choose Hull over Asia then he could team up with his Wales co-star James Chester.
Bruce is said to be interested in re-signing the former Tigers centre-back, just a year after selling him to West Bromwich Albion for £8million.
Bordeaux centre-back Lamine Sane is also thought to be a target for Hull, who were dealt a defensive blow after Moses Odubajo went down injured in their friendly at Grimsby on Friday night.
