Transfer latest from the MKM Stadium
Hull City are in talks with Manchester United over a deal to bring Toby Collyer to the MKM Stadium. City were close to signing the 22-year-old in the summer, but he opted to join West Brom. That move struggled to gain any momentum and Collyer made just 12 appearances for the Baggies, before returning to Old Trafford last month with a slight injury and his loan was ended. The Tigers have been in talks with United over a move to bring in Collyer on loan, and it’s expected that he will arrive at City for the remainder of the season and provide competition in the centre of midfield. Collyer can operate as a more deep-lying midfielder in the number six, or further forward in the traditional number eight role. The Tigers have been given clearance, it’s understood, by the EFL, to get the deal done and they hope a move can be sealed soon.
City are still working on deals to bring Middlesbrough goalkeeper Seny Dieng and Rangers playmaker Kieran Dowell to the club, but they must also move players out ahead of the February 2 deadline. Given Mo Belloumi’s injury, they may also consider further wide options if David Akintola is moved on.It’s understood Cody Drameh is now keen to remain at the MKM Stadium having been linked away, with the player set to be involved in Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Blackburn Rovers at the MKM Stadium.
Drameh has been the subject of strong interest from a number of City’s Championship rivals, with Millwall, Stoke City and Preston North End linked with having shown an interest, but sources suggest the player has now made it clear he wants to stay at the Tigers.
