Reported Leicester City and Newcastle United target Markus Henriksen could be set to leave Hull City in the summer.

The Norwegian was the subject of interest from a number of clubs, including Premier League clubs according to reports during January.

French club Bordeaux were said to have come the closest to securing his signature, but the Tigers held on to their star midfielder who now looks set to leave in the summer.

The Tigers opted not to cash in on Henriksen, but they now look set to lose him for free with the Norwegian set to leave the club at the end of his contract.

Norwegian news outlet GV report that Henriksen wanted to stay and fight for a play-offs spot with Hull, but he has no intention to extend his stay at the KCOM Stadium to beyond this summer.

The 26-year-old has been with the Tigers since the summer of 2016 when he signed on loan from AZ Alkmaar before making his move permanent the following January.

Henriksen has made 27 appearances for Hull this season in what's been a rather impressive campaign, especially given the start to the season they endured.

The Tigers are in 12th in the Championship and seven points off the play-offs as things stand.

Henriksen, the club's current captain, has impressed this season, putting in fine displays for both club and country, and that's seen him attract interest from various destinations.

During January, the Sun claimed that Henriksen was on City's radar in the days leading up to the deadline.

If their interest is genuine, it seems City will now be able to join a host of other clubs in trying to convince Henriksen to sign on a free transfer this summer.
