'He is like God's gift to us': Hull owner Acun Ilicali issues hands-off over England U21 winger Keane Lewis-Potter amid interest from West Ham, Southampton, Brentford and Bournemouth

Hull owner Acun Ilicali has vowed to reject £30million offers from Premier League clubs for ‘God’s gift’ Keane Lewis-Potter this summer.

West Ham, Southampton, Brentford and newly-promoted Bournemouth have all expressed interest in the England Under-21 winger, who only has one year left on his current contract.

But ambitious Tigers chief Ilicali insists Lewis-Potter, 21, is going nowhere and has told him to stay at his hometown team and lead them to Premier League promotion next season.

‘Keane is like God’s gift to us,’ said Ilicali at an impromptu press conference at the MKM Stadium on Thursday.
