Transfer news: Hull City and Crystal Palace in battle to land former Sunderland midfielder Yann M'Vila

Hull City have joined Crystal Palace in the race for former Sunderland midfielder Yann M'Vila.

The France international is currently plying his trade for Russian side Rubin Kazan, but reportedly has an £11million release clause in his contract.

Crystal Palace are ready to activate that and bring the player back to the Premier League, where he previously spent a season with Sunderland.

But, according to reports, Hull are also keen on snapping up M'Vila before the January transfer window closes.

The Tigers are fighting to beat the drop in the Premier League and they are eager to bolster their squad.
