Hull City are considering launching a raid on German side Werder Bremen for attacker Justin Njinmah, as the club looks to add to its attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.
The 25-year-old has spent the last three seasons with Bremen and helped the club avoid relegation from the Bundesliga in the previous campaign.
Last season, the German frontman scored three times in 33 games for the Bundesliga strugglers, and clubs in England are now eying a move for Njinmah, who can operate through the middle or out wide.
His goalscoring record in senior games is fairly modest, with 14 goals and six assists in 84 games in the Bundesliga, but he is viewed as a player who can operate in various positions across the front third of the pitch, and at over 6ft, he is a threat in the air.
Hull Live understands Njinmah is on the club's recruitment list, and is one of a number of attacking players the Tigers are looking at, but no bid has yet been lodged.
