EFL Championship outfit Hull City have been urged to make a move for Nigeria star Ahmed Musa.

Hull Daily Mail has suggested five players that can beef up the Tigers in the forthcoming season, with the Leicester City striker on its shortlist.

Newly appointed Hull City coach Leonid Slutsky has an excellent relationship with Musa, and the former CSKA Moscow manager was at Stamford Bridge in January to watch him in action against Chelsea.

The 24-year-old striker spent four and a half years with the Muscovites, netting 54 goals in 164 appearances.

Hull City have embarked on cost control measures following their demotion to the second tier, and it is envisaged that a loan move is their preferred option if they eventually bring Musa to the KCOM Stadium.
