Hull City's unpredictable transfer dealings have taken another twist as they have bid for Euro 2016 winner Nani.

The former Manchester United winger could be back on his way to the Premier League as Hull are keen on the Portugal star and are attempting to bring him to the KCOM before the day is out.

New boss Marco Silva is an admirer of the Valencia man, 30, who left United in 2015.

Hull City are looking for new wide players having sold Robert Snodgrass to West Ham United and face losing Andrew Robertson to Burnley.

They have made Nani, who helped Portugal win the European Championship last summer, their top target.

He only joined Valencia in July, but has struggled to reverse the their fortunes as they battle against relegation from La Liga.

Nani has played 15 league games for Valencia and has made an impact, scoring two goals and assisting six more, but he will be playing for English strugglers rather than Spanish ones if Silva gets his way.

Silva has previously worked with Nani, having taken him on loan to Sporting Lisbon when he was manager for the 2014-15 season, and they won the Portuguese Cup together.

Nani is best known in England for his spell at Manchester United between 2007 and 2014

Nani is best known in England for his spell at Manchester United between 2007 and 2014.

He arrived from Sporting Lisbon hailed as the new Cristiano Ronaldo for £21.6m, and although he never quite lived up to that hype, he did have a trophy laden spell at Old Trafford.

With United he won the 2007-08 Champions League, scoring his team's fifth penalty in the shoot-out triumph over Chelsea.

He also won four Premier League titles, two League Cups and the 2009 Club World Cup, before joining Turkish side Fenerbahce after a year-long loan spell back with Sporting.

Hull meanwhile have also made a move for Poland international winger Kamil Grosicki. The 28-year-old came close to joining Burnley last August and held talks with Everton earlier in the summer.
