Hull City are chasing Bordeaux fullback Lamine Sane.

The Mirror says Hull are stepping up their efforts to land Sane after Moses Odubajo became their THIRD star to be sidelined for six months in the past week.

Right-back Odubajo, a £3million buy from Brentford last summer, is out until January after dislocating his kneecap in the Tigers' friendly at neighbours Grimsby last Friday.

Keeper Allan McGregor and centre-back Alex Bruce will also not play again until the New Year, after back and Achilles operations respectively.
