Hal Robson-Kanu is wanted by champions Leicester City and newly promoted Hull after his heroics for Wales at Euro 2016.
The striker – who scored the goal of the tournament in the quarter-final victory over Belgium – is set for talks with Tigers manager Steve Bruce, but champions Leicester are also keen to speak to a player who is currently without a club after running down his contract with Reading.
Bruce said: “I’ve spoken to his father and his brother and we’ll continue talks over the next few days. I know we have got competition, so let’s see what we can do.
“We are booked in for talks with him and to see him in the next few days. Do we intend to offer him a deal? Yes.
“I think Hal is a good age, has had a sort of rebirth if you like, of playing through the middle, because before that he has played wide most of the time.
“He is big, strong, powerful, quick and somebody who runs the other way, in football terms. I know we have got competition, so let’s see what we can do.”
Robson-Kanu admitted at the start of Euro 2016 he had taken a gamble by refusing offers from Reading to re-sign and also snubbing other Championship clubs because he wanted to play in the Premier League.
That stance appears to have paid off after his impressive tournament in France, where he also scored the winner in the 2-1 victory over Slovakia.
That followed a modest return of only 24 goals in 114 League appearances in seven years at Reading for the 27-year-old.
He said: “I had offers before the tournament – good offers from good, progressive clubs – but I made a decision to wait.
“I’ve made no secret of my desire to play in the Premier League and if that’s the best place for me then I’ll be there. I am aware there has been a bit of a frenzy, so to speak.”
Robson-Kanu began his career at Arsenal but was released by former Gunners star Liam Brady.
“I was one of the smallest in the whole academy when I was there. I developed quite late.
“Liam Brady (then head of academy) sat me down and said ‘You’ve got a wand of a left foot, I don’t doubt you’ll have a career’.
“But he said I may have a better channel at a different club. Those were his words. He offered me another year to stay and see if I developed and grew.
“At the time I had various options, Reading was one of them, and it was a good decision for my career. It’s one that I’m pleased I made.”
