HULL CITY have enquired about a move for Fenerbahce’s former West Ham striker Emmanuel Emenike to boost their survival hopes.
The struggling Tigers want the Nigerian on loan until the end of the season after he was told he can leave the Turkish giants.
However, Fener boss Dick Advocaat is believed to be only ready to sanction a permanent deal for the 29-year-old, according to Turkish-Football.com.
The forward has been in impressive form this season, scoring seven and grabbing four assists, but a fall out with Advocaat means he is expected to leave.
Emenike is no stranger to the Premier League following his loan spell with the Hammers last season.
