Hull City are working on a deal to sign PSV Eindhoven centre-back Jordy de Wijs, Sky Sports News understands.

The Tigers are hoping to have the 23-year-old as part of their pre-season training camp in Portugal next week.

De Wijs, a product of the PSV youth academy, spent most of last season on loan at Excelsior after finding first-team opportunities limited in Eindhoven.

With Michael Dawson returning to former club Nottingham Forest after his contract expired, the Dutch U21 international could fill the void left by the veteran defender. A clear priority for a Hull side who conceded 70 goals in the Championship last season.

Hull have been busy in their search for reinforcements as Sky Sports News understand they are also chasing Yeovil defender Tom James.
