Boca Juniors are eyeing Hull City winger Gaston Ramirez.

Ramirez is on-loan at Hull from Southampton.

Boca secretary Cesar Martucci told A Todo Boca: "(Boca manager Rodolfo) Arruabarrena has asked us to start negotiations with Hull City for Ramirez because he thinks the player fits perfectly in what he wants for the team.

"We know that Ramirez wants and needs to be near the national team of Uruguay. We know that negotiations will be very hard, but we are going to do all that is possible to have him playing at Boca."
