Twist emerges on Hull City forward’s future amid Sheffield Wednesday interest

Hull City vice-chairman Tan Kesler has revealed the Tigers may only sanction a loan move for Mallik Wilks this summer, speaking to Hull Live about the forward’s future. The 23-year-old was a regular starter under Grant McCann during the early stages of the 2021/22 campaign despite the fact he wasn’t able to be as lethal in front of goal as he was in 2020/21, often playing alongside Josh Magennis.

However, an injury and Shota Arveladze’s arrival has been a game-changer for the Englishman who looks set to be on the fringes of the first team with Allahyar Sayyadmanesh making his move permanent and Oscar Estupinan coming in from Vitoria.

Despite looking as though he would be surplus to requirements at the MKM Stadium, a one-year extension was triggered on his contract back in May to keep him at the club next summer.

There has been no shortage of interest in his services in recent months with Birmingham City and League One outfit Sheffield Wednesday both believed to have been interested in recruiting him, with the latter seemingly holding the stronger interest.
