Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer appears to be heading towards the Old Trafford exit door.
The Baggies are exploring a permanent deal for the 22-year-old, but they now face competition from a newly promoted Premier League side.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Hull City have joined the race to sign Collyer after he spent the second half of the previous campaign with the Tigers.
The United midfielder struggled with injuries and was able to make only five appearances for Hull.
The 2025-26 campaign proved a frustrating one for the midfielder, who managed only 12 appearances for West Brom during the first half of the season.
Despite his fitness struggles, both clubs remain interested in giving Collyer another opportunity this summer.
There is clearly talent waiting to be unlocked, but Collyer now desperately needs regular first-team football to fulfil his potential.
The midfielder made his senior United debut in the 2024 FA Community Shield before going on to make 12 more first-team appearances.
He was a key part of the United squad earlier and was even considered ahead of Casemiro in the pecking order.
However, sending him out on loan became necessary as United did not have the luxury of Champions League football at the time.
What was supposed to be an important step in his development ultimately became a setback, and Collyer now finds himself behind academy prospects Tyler and Jack Fletcher in the midfield hierarchy.
INEOS are reportedly favouring a permanent departure for the former Brighton prospect, following the same approach they have taken with other academy talents, such as Ethan Williams and Ethan Ennis.
United are likely to protect their long-term interests by including both a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause in any potential deal.
