HDM Sport on Facebook Having told you all about Hull City's interest in Norwich City winger Robert Snodgrass at the end of May, it is now being suggested by The People that he could put pen to paper shortly. If reports are to be believed, the Tigers are set to beat West Ham to the 26-year-old's signature for a fee of around £4m, significantly less than the £6m which was first bandied about. Even so, that valuation has put the Hammers off signing the Scotland international, who has made 74 appearances and scored 14 goals since his £3m move from Leeds in 2012.Lescott to decide on future by end of the week? All the talk surrounding the future of Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott suggests he will choose a club from eight possible detinations by as early as the end of this week. According to The Sun, he is wanted by Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Bordeaux, Besiktas, Portland Timbers and Al Ain, as well as the confirmed interest from Hull City, who have tabled a two-year deal. But the bookies think a move to Villa is looking likely and you can get 5/1 at SkyBet that he will join the Villa Park outfit before September 2. QPR are the favourites at 3/1 and the Tigers are not even in the most popular betting markets. Amalfitano attracting even more interest Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano has long been linked with the Tigers, but the Daily Mail suggest that Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Aston Villa are now showing interest in him. Having impressed on-loan at West Brom last season, he is sure to have no shortage of takers and his agent Willie McKay is known to be a shrewd operator at pushing through deals.Breathe a sigh of relief, Koeman is set to seal Saints role Finally, there is good new coming out of Southampton as Ronald Koeman looks poised to be appointed as their new manager, meaning Steve Bruce will not be targeted for talks. Although the move for Bruce always looked unlikely, Koeman's arrival will finally put an end to all speculation surrounding the City boss. Koeman left Feyenoord after leading them to second place in the Eredivisie last season and will now bring his brother Erwin to St Mary's as his assistant. The 51-year-old former Dutch star, who won the European Championship with Holland and the European Cup with PSV in 1988 and with Barcelona four years later, has also managed Ajax, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Valencia and AZ Alkmaar.
