BREAKING: Hull City and Cardiff City keen on Leicester City winger…

Hull City and Cardiff City are admirers of Leicester City winger Kasey McAteer, according to Darren Witcoop on X.
Hull City and Cardiff City are both said to be interested in landing the Premier League new boy this summer on loan. He helped Leicester City win the Championship title last season under their former boss Enzo Maresca.

McAteer, 22, made 26 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes in the last campaign and scored seven goals, six of which came in the league. He is under contract at the King Power Stadium until June 2025 and they have a big decision to make regarding his long-term future.                 

According to Witcoop on X, both the Tigers and the Bluebirds are keen on landing him. He featured for his current side in their pre-season friendly clash away at Shrewsbury Town of League One on Tuesday night as they ran out 2-1 winners.

Hull City and Cardiff City target Leicester City winger
Football Insider claimed in May that Everton, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United were targeting McAteer.

He has been on the books at Leicester City for his whole career to date and has risen up through their academy ranks.

McAteer then made his first-team debut back in December 2021 in a top flight fixture against Newcastle United.

He was loaned out to Forest Green Rovers and AFC Wimbledon to get some experience under his belt in League Two.

Leicester City’s relegation to the second tier in 2023 gave him the chance to get more game time and he impressed last term

However, his opportunities may now dry up under former Swansea City boss Steve Cooper.

What next?
Hull City are in need of some more attacking players and could see McAteer as someone to bolster their options going forward.

Tim Walter’s side have recently snapped up right-back Cody Drameh from Leeds United.

Meanwhile, Cardiff City have made a couple of eye-catching signings in Chris Willock and Calum Chambers from QPR and Aston Villa respectively and are looking to continue their recruitment drive.

Tim Walter admits Tuesday night’s 4-0 thumping at Doncaster Rovers highlighted the growing need for reinforcements into his Hull City squad ahead of the new Championship season.

A side made up largely of academy players and returning loanees found themselves four down at the Eco Power Stadium having been two behind at the break before conceding twice early in the second period to Grant McCann’s promotion hopefuls.

Walter introduced many of his first team players for the final minutes of the game but the Tigers were unable to reduce the arrears despite passing up good chances through Ryan Longman, Ryan Giles and Regan Slater.
