West Ham United have made an offer for Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic, reports ESPN.

The Hammers are currently in the market for a striker due to injury problems with their forward options Mauro Zarate, Enner Valencia and Andy Carroll.

The Croatian was left out of the Tigers' 2-0 win over Preston North End on Saturday and Slaven Bilic is now set to make his move.

After the game, Hull boss Steve Bruce said: "We had a bid late last night. Actually, two clubs have shown their hand and with that going on I didn't think it was right [to play him].

"At the end of the day, if he goes I've got to go with the players that are going to be here."
