Hull City face competition for Manchester United's Toby Collyer as Middlesbrough and West Brom show 'interest'
Hull City could reportedly face transfer competition from Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion
Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion have reportedly shown interest in Manchester United midfielder and Hull City target Toby Collyer.
The 22-year-old spent the first half of last season with the Baggies before linking up with the Tigers for the second half.
His loan spell with the latter was marred by injury, but does not appear to have dented their admiration for the midfielder.
Interest in Toby Collyer
Hull have continually been linked with the former England youth international, although Hull Live have claimed there are other admirers.
Championship outfits Middlesbrough and West Brom are both said to have shown interest with Manchester United seemingly open to moving Collyer on.
It has been suggested he could be available for as little as £3m, which could prove to be a bargain price he is able to kick on.
When asked about the possibility of a reunion with Collyer, Tigers manager Sergej Jakirovic said: “Why not? Toby is, for me, a good player.
“We can improve him a lot, but the main thing is that he stays healthy. I saw that he did all pre-season with Man United, which is great. He knows this area here and our team, everything, so there is no adaptation for him and why not?"
Toby Collyer’s potential options
Middlesbrough have made a host of signings this summer, determined to put their recent play-off final heartbreak firmly behind them.
West Brom, meanwhile, are looking to challenge near the top end of the table after a dangerous flirt with relegation last term.
The appeal of a move to Hull is clear given they are now a Premier League club and Collyer has a pre-existing relationship with the Tigers.
However, he could potentially play a more prominent role if he returns to the Championship.
