Hull have reportedly agreed a fee of &nbsp;&pound;1.6million for the French striker who has also been a target for Premier League side West Ham United.<br />

The Tigers manager Steve Bruce during an interview with the Hull Daily Mail said: "We're in conversations"&nbsp;<br />

"My chief executive is speaking with Evian and we're hopeful that we can get something done because he would be a good addition.<br /><br />"He's a little bit different to what we've got. He's quick, he's direct and he wants to run in behind.<br /><br />"It's hard talking about a player who belongs to another club but there has been dialogue and we'll see where it takes us. We'll be patient and see what develops."<br /><br />Hull boss is also eyeing a move for Stoke City's Wilson Palacios as he rates the Honduran International highly from his past experience while managing Wigan.<br />

"We're not sure if Stoke are willing to let him go, but if he did become available we would be interested of course," said Bruce.<br /><br />"We have to wait to see if Stoke say he is surplus to their requirements, but he's a player I've worked with before and like."
