According to the Times, Lennon will join Hull on loan for the rest of the season with a guaranteed permanent deal if the Tigers avoid the drop.

Should Hull stay up, Lennon will then join for a fee of £7m in the summer.

Hull are also closing in on a deal for Dame N’Doye from Lokomotiv Moscow.

Tigers boss Steve Bruce said: "We must bring in players who are going to make a bit of difference. The two we’re looking at would do that, I’m convinced of that.

"We must try and get a couple of reinforcements if we can.

"If we can’t then we’ll deal with that too. That’s an eventuality we’re prepared for."

Hull lost their third straight game in Saturday's early kick-off, going down 3-0 at home to Newcastle.
