Hull City boss Steve Bruce is reportedly preparing a move for Sunderland winger Ahmed Elmohamady.
The 24-year-old played under Bruce during the latter's spell as manager of the Black Cats, and it is understood that he is keen to rejoin his former boss.
According to the Sunderland Echo, the Egyptian will cost in the region of £1.5m – a figure which the Championship club are prepared to meet.
Elmohamady has 43 international caps to his name.
