Hull are interested in Saint-Etienne's Moroccan winger Oussama Tannane. The 22-year-old is valued at around £4million.
The Tigers have reportedly sent scouts to watch Tannane in action four times this season as boss Mike Phelan looks to bolster his squad to avoid top flight relegation.
Hull are yet to make a concrete offer, but at £4m the valuation is not significant enough to deter the Tigers. Saint-Etienne have been made aware of Hull's interest and are wiling to enter negotiations if the player makes his intention to leave clear.
Despite only being 22, Tannane is not short of experience, making over 70 appearances since breaking through into first team football at Dutch side Heerenveen in 2013.
