Abel Hernandez admits he would love to one day head back to Italy.

The Uruguayan striker has been one of the top players in the Championship this season with his 15 goals leading Hull City to the top of the table.

Hernandez joined the Tigers from Serie A club Palermo in the summer of 2014 and although he is enjoying his time at the KC Stadium, is eyeing a possible return to Italy's top flight with one of the bigger clubs, once he gets Steve Bruce's Hull back to the Premier League.

"My main goal is to arrive in the Premier League with Hull City, then play in European competitions with the Tigers or with a stronger team," the Uruguayan told TodoMercatoWeb.es.

"Then I want to head back to Italy with a big club such as Juventus, Inter or Napoli before finally returning to Palermo, where I felt very good."
