Hull interested in Fenerbahce defender Gregory van der Wiel - sources

Hull City have made enquiries over Fenerbahce defender Gregory van der Wiel, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.

Hull are desperate to bring in a new right-back during this month's transfer window as Ahmed Elmohamady is away on international duty with Egypt at the African Nations Cup and Moses Odubajo a long-term injury casualty.

New Hull head coach Marco Silva has targeted a move for Van der Wiel and has enquired about his availability at Fenerbahce.

The Netherlands international joined the club on a free transfer last summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, but he has struggled to establish himself in Turkey and has only made six appearances in the Turkish Super Lig and 12 in total in all competitions.
