Who is Tyler Roberts? Hull City's latest transfer target profiled

Hull City have been strongly linked to Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts in recent days. The Welsh international is reportedly being watched by a number of Championship clubs, including QPR, who are said to be currently leading the race.

It would appear likely that Rangers would bring Roberts in on a loan deal from Leeds. However, should he choose to stay within Yorkshire and sign for the Tigers, we have made a profile of everything you need to know about the striker.

A graduate of the West Bromwich Albion academy, Roberts made only one senior appearance for the Baggies before being sent on three loan spells to League One sides between 2016 and 2018. During his time at Oxford United, Shrewsbury Town and Walsall, he managed 11 goals in 54 appearances combined.

Despite being recalled by West Brom, Roberts did not return to the Hawthorns for long, with a permanent deal for him to join Leeds being finalised in early 2018. However, injury prevented him from making his debut for his new club until the start of the 2018/19 season.

Whilst at Leeds, he has made over 100 appearances, and helped them to return to and then maintain their place in the Premier League. Further injuries have hampered his game time and progress as a player, but ultimately he was rewarded with a new contract at Elland Road that lasts until 2024.

Roberts has also played 15 times for the Welsh national team, and was part of the squad that reached the last 16 of the delayed Euro 2020 tournament. He is yet to register a goal for his country yet, however.
