Leeds United 'want to sign Abel Hernandez'

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Hull City centre-forward Abel Hernandez this summer.

Hernandez, who has also been linked with Newcastle United, will be out of contract at Hull next month.

The 27-year-old is widely expected to leave the KCOM Stadium ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, and a number of clubs are said to be considering approaching the Uruguay international.

According to Sky Sports News, Leeds are very much in the hunt for his signature as they prepare to overhaul their squad this summer.

Hernandez missed the majority of the 2017-18 season following Achilles surgery, but still scored eight times in just 10 Championship appearances for the Tigers.
