Hull City are eyeing a swoop for Yoann Gouffran according to reports.

Having missed out on Andre Gray and Dwight Gayle recently, Hull are currently in a desperate need to sign a new striker before the end of the transfer window and now according to reports from HITC Sport, the Tigers are planning a swoop for United's Gouffran.

Gouffran has fallen down the pecking order at Newcastle following the arrival of Steve McClaren as manager of the club and it is believed that Hull are hopeful of landing the services of the Frenchman on a season-long loan deal.
