Hull City have had a mixed start to their campaign in the Championship this season, having won two of their first five matches, while drawing one and losing the other two. Their last match saw them getting a victory over close rivals Bolton Wanderers 4-0, who were promoted from League One at the end of the last season.
The Tigers have already scored a dozen goals this season, which is indicative of the aggressive attitude they are looking to depend on for the rest of the season as well. In accordance to that, their new boss Leonid Slutsky, who was brought in the place of Marco Silva, is eyeing a new centre-forward who will be able to give them the edge over their rivals and get the much-needed goals to pave their way to victory.
The Russian tactician is having a number of names on his priority list at the moment and right of the top of it is the name of the striker from Mali, Nouha Dicko. The player is currently a part of the Wolverhampton Wanderers side and is a potential target for a number of clubs including Hull City.
The 25-year-old forward has been associated with the Wolves since his arrival at the Molineux Stadium in 2014 and has since been an imperative part of the side. He has made more than hundred appearances for the club and has scored 35 goals so far. He also has 16 assists to his name, providing his teammates with opportunities to get the ball into the opposition net to keep his team in the advantage.
Hull City are looking forward to make it a good season in the Championship and get back into the top flight once again after being relegated from the Premier League at the end of the last season. They have already started to make their intentions clear by showing a considerable amount of aggression but are looking to add to their firepower by bringing in Dicka to the KCOM Stadium in the next few days before the transfer window comes to a close.
The wily striker is known for his ability to make darting runs into the heart of the opposition defence and make it difficult for the opposition defenders by mesmerising them with his swift footwork and dribbling skills. He is also known to be equally accurate from open play as well as set piece situations and can be lethal in the air as well. He might be the perfect option for Hull City to increase their firepower.
