Reports have emerged that the Tigers have made an offer to Basle for a Canadian winger who impressed on loan at Preston North End last season. However, they are facing stiff competition from Sunderland, Sheffield United, Cardiff City, Burnley, and Leeds United for the 24-year-old.

Despite not traditionally using wingers, Sheffield United have been experimenting with a 4-2-3-1 formation in pre-season. The club’s finances are tight while awaiting a potential takeover, and they are yet to confirm the signing of left-back Harrison Burrows from Peterborough United, despite reports from their chairman.

Leeds United, on the other hand, may need to prepare for potential departures of their wingers Summerville and Gnonto, although they are not actively looking to sell.

Hull City, however, seem more financially stable and have a coach in Tim Walter who is eager for reinforcements. They have already made some signings but are keen on the Canadian winger, who is seeking a move to a club with Premier League ambitions.

The winger in question had a successful season at Preston, contributing significantly to their campaign and also representing Canada at the Copa America. He is currently in the final year of his contract in Switzerland and is eyeing a move to a club with ambitions for promotion.

While Hull have made limited signings so far, they seem determined to strengthen their squad, with the potential inclusion of Estupinan for their upcoming friendly against Newcastle United.
