Bahoya rejection of Hull City gives Milan and Roma hope

Jean-Matteo Bahoya has rejected a move to Hull City after Eintracht Frankfurt accepted the bid, amid rumours of Milan and Roma interest instead.

The 21-year-old was all set and told to pack his bags to fly out for a medical in England when he turned down the transfer, claim multiple sources including Fabrizio Romano , Sky Sports UK and more.

It means the versatile French winger is still on the market and looking for a more prestigious club as the next step in his career.

This news comes after Bahoya was already linked with a potential move to Milan as a replacement for Rafael Leao, and it is entirely possible he could still be approached even after a deal was done for Nottingham Forest's Omari Hutchinson.

The extraordinarily quick player can also be considered a potential target for Roma, who have qualified for the Champions League and are looking for players in this position.
