Italian side Torino are stepping up their pursuit to sign Hull City striker Abel Hernandez.

Hull are keen to offload Hernandez this summer but they have struggled to find potential suitors after slapping a price tag of around £10million on the Uruguayan international.

Now as a boost to the Tigers, Italian side Torino are interested in signing Hernandez and will look to ramp up their pursuit as they strive to finalise a deal.

Torino have already had an offer of around £5million rejected by Hull but an improved offer in the coming days could see the deal being struck. It has been suggested that a loan offer with a mandatory purchase clause for Hernandez will be accepted by Hull.
