Hull City head coach Marco Silva has reportedly announced his intention to sign Genk attacker Leon Bailey.

Late last season, Bailey was linked with a transfer to Manchester United, though he declared that he would not make a transfer to Old Trafford except he was given minutes on the field.

It has also been claimed that Liverpool, Chelsea, Napoli, and Roma are ready to snap up the 19-year-old, but as the Daily Mail reports, the Hull City are ready to attempt to push for a deal for the winger.

It has been said that Bailey is rated at £20m and it stays unclear if Hull are ready to meet that valuation, however, Silva has made it obvious that he is a suitor of the footballer.

The Jamaican has netted 12 goals in 61 games for the Belgian side.

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is ready to battle with Jose Mourinho in the fight for Benfica defender Victor Lindelof.
