Hull are eyeing up a permanent move for kamil Zayatte . Zayatte joined Hull on a season long loan move from Swiss side Young Boys in the summer. There has been much speculation that The Tigers would make the move permanent , The fee and timing of which has been uncertain but it looks like it could be made in the January Transfer window and the fee is believed to be around 2.5 million pound.  Zayatte has made an impressive start to life in England, becoming a main stay in the Hull defence. He told BBC Humberside earlier in the season that his dream has always been to play in England.

I'm hoping to stay and I'm hoping the two clubs will come to an agreement.

Everyone has welcomed me and my boyhood dream has come true."

Both Everton and Newcastle United were eyeing up a move for Zayatte before he signed for Hull and the centre-back now admits he is glad that they did not come in for him. "It was a possibility but I don't regret my choice now because I am quite happy in Hull," he said.

he is revelling in his partnership with Michael Turner at the heart of the Hull defence, even though he speaks very little English. "He is a brilliant player and we work well together together and we find a way to communicate during games," he added.
