Talks have begun about a possible takeover of Championship side Hull City, reports BBC Radio Humberside.

The club have been up for sale since 2014, after the Football Association turned down owner Assem Allam's request to a change of name to Hull Tigers.

As offer is now understood to have been made and talks held over the weekend have been described as "constructive".

In May 2015, Egyptian Allam told BBC Look North he had rejected offers for the club as he wishes to ensure it goes to a "good home".
