Hull City have been credited with interest in former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe.
The 25-year-old cut his teeth in the French capital and went on to make 13 senior appearances for the Ligue 1 giants.
He moved to Germany to link up with Eintracht Frankfurt on a permanent basis in the summer of 2023, although spent last season back on loan in France with Brest.

Hull City credited with interest in midfielder
According to Sky Sports, Ebimbe is of interest to Hull following their promotion to the Premier League.
He is said to be in the sights of German outfit Schalke 04, although an agreement over a move is not thought to have been reached.
Ebimbe is entering the final year of his contract in the Bundesliga and is believed to be among the options being assessed by Hull.

Neither have played in England before, but both boast extensive experience of top-flight football. That is something Hull may well need if they are to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
It is unclear how much Ebimbe would set Hull back, but it has been claimed Avom is valued in the region of £8.5m and £10m.
Ebimbe has made a total of 85 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, registering 15 goals and eight assists.

Regarding recruitment, Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic said: "We will try to add better players than we have right now. This is also our job. I think the main players who brought us to the Premier League can stay. They can help us as well.
"We just have to add better players than we have. I think Sunderland's recipe is great. They brought dynamic players with the pace and speed. So you can build this type of team."
