Walsall Football Club and Huddersfield Town have been joined by several other clubs in the race for Manchester City striker Jordy Hiwula.Reports this afternoon suggest that Leeds United and Celtic have also joined the race for Jordy Hiwula, who has one-year remaining on his deal and is understood to be keen to move away from the Etihad in search of first-team football.
The Citizens are said to be willing to let Hiwula leave this summer for a nominal fee with the Manchester-born frontman expected to fetch around £500,000.

Jordy joined Walsall on an initial one-month loan in February 2014, and made an immediate impact by scoring on his debut, helping the Saddlers to defeat Doncaster Rovers by two-goal-to-nil.
Jordy's loan was soon extended, and he went on to make almost twenty first-team appearances for Walsall, scoring nine goals before returning to the Etihad in the summer.
Saddlers manager Dean Smith has already expressed his desire to bring the Manchester City striker back to the club, but has many other clubs also keen to add him to their squad.
However it now appears that a permanent move elsewhere is all but guaranteed.
