Hull City are in talks to sign Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons on loan until the end of the season.

Head coach Nigel Adkins has been searching for a new wide option this month and Aarons is now a target ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline.

The 22-year-old has been told he can leave St James’ Park on loan and is eager to play regular football in a season that has so far seen him make just five appearances for the Magpies.

City can offer Aarons a platform in the Championship but Adkins must persuade the youngster to join a relegation fight at the KCOM Stadium.

Newcastle’s capture of Kenedy from Newcastle has convinced Rafa Benitez that Aarons should spend the remainder of the season out on loan.

“One that maybe now has more chance to leave is Rolando Aarons,” said Benitez last week. “I was talking with him and he was saying that we were bringing in another player and asking if maybe he could go.

“[It would be a] loan. But we need to have the right team for him. We had one good option, but now we have to wait and then we are waiting for any other options.

“But he is a young player and he has to play and, bringing in Kenedy, we have another body in a position where normally he would play. If he can get a good club for him, we will allow him to go.”
