Hull City boss Marco Silva is determined to sign Yann M'Vila this month.
Foot Mercato is reporting that the Tigers have made the French midfielder a priority this winter.
Currently with Rubin Kazan in Russia, M'Vila has a release clause with Premier League clubs that stands at around £12million (€14m).
The former Sunderland star, who was on loan with the Black Cats last season, is also wanted by Crystal Palace.
