Striker-shy Hull City are believed to have agreed a fee for Lokomotiv Moscow forward Dame N'Doye.
Tigers boss Steve Bruce is desperate to bolster his attacking options this month, with senior frontmen Nikica Jelavic and Abel Hernandez struggling with injuries.
Having apparently failed in pursuit of Blackburn Rovers duo Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede, Hull have turned to the foreign market and Sky Sports News claims that they have had a £3m bid accepted for N'Doye.
Personal terms are yet to be agreed with the player, but the Premier League club are hopeful that Senegal's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations will give them enough time to finalise the deal before Monday's deadline.
N'Doye has scored 27 goals in 66 Russian league games for Lokomotiv since joining from FC Copenhagen in 2012.
