Move for Samuelsen may be on the cards

Hull City boss Grant McCann is understood to be casting eyes in the direction of Martin Samuelsen who has returned to the Hammers following a loan spell in Norway.

McCann has the 24 year old on his winter window back burner should a move for  Barnsley’s Mallik Wilks from  fall through.

McCann had Samuelsen on loan when he was at  Peterborough United and was well impressed with the playmaker  over two spells, which saw the player  appear 28 times for two goals.

The Hammers have loaned him out to FC Haugesund where McCann kept on eye on him as he scored seven times in 28 domestic and Europa League outings and was responsible for seven goals.

He had long been touted as the next big thing at the Hammers but failed to make a real first team breakthrough and should McCann move in it’s likely the Hammers will listen to offers from the Championship club this winter.
