Hull City to swoop for Yannick Sagbo

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has been recommended Evian's 25-year-old forward Yannick Sagbo. The striker has scored over 20 goals for Evian since moving to the French side from Monaco back in 2010.

Hull's scouting network have identified the forward, whose full name is Yannick Anister Sagbo-Latte, as a potential addition to the new squad. Bruce's team were hopeful that a deal could be agreed with Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, but the Dane's lofty salary demands cooled that deal.


Sagbo would cost just a paltry £1.7 million and the Ivory coast international is eager to move to England to boost his hopes of appearing in the World Cup next summer with his home country.
