Retired football agent, Agent Dave, has confirmed on his official Twitter page that both Leeds United and Aston Villa have ‘enquired’ over the signing of Hull City winger Robert Snodgrass. The Scotland international has seen his future thrown up in the air in recent days after it was revealed he has rejected a contract extension with the Premier League strugglers.
The 29-year-old supposedly set his heart on a move to Ladbrokes Premiership leaders and Scottish giants Celtic, but Brendan Rodgers isn’t said to be keen on signing the player at this moment in time. This has alerted two Championship clubs in particularly, including former clubs Leeds, who he has made over 160 appearances for already.
Snodgrass, who has already netted ten goals this season, including a hat-trick for Scotland in their 5-1 victory over Malta September, was willing to take a pay cut in order to push through a move to Celtic Park. With that move seemingly off the agenda, it remains to be seen where Snodgrass’ future lies.
His deal at the KCOM Stadium expires at the end of this season, but Hull may not be too keen on letting him leave in January, fearing his exit would severely restrict their chances of avoiding relegation under Mike Phelan. Losing him for free next summer therefore remains a possibility, and both Garry Monk and Steve Bruce have tentatively enquired regarding his situation.
Both clubs would certainly benefit from having a proven Premier League and international quality attacking player in the form of Snodgrass, but perhaps both clubs would be better placed if they too could offer Premier League football next season.
