Hull interested in Saint-Etienne's £4m-rated winger Oussama Tannane

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.

After failing to really make an impact in the Eredivisie, Tannane was signed up by Heracles. 

In two and a half years at the Polman Stadion he made 59 appearances, scoring 23 and picking up 11 assists.

He made a move to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in January this year and made 40 appearances to help the French club up to eighth in Ligue 1 this season.

Tannane has also earned five caps for the Moroccan national side since making his international bow in March. 

Any arrival at the Tigers could be delayed if, as expected, the winger goes to the African Cup of Nations in January.
