Premier League new boys Hull City are hoping to strengthen their defensive ranks with the signing of one-time Bolton Wanderers right-back Bernard Mendy.
The 26-year-old is set to leave Paris St Germain this summer, with a club in Italy also interested in trying to sign Mendy.
Tigers number two Brian Horton confirmed: "There's been ongoing talks, but he has got an Italian club also interested.
"He's got to make his mind up with his agent and his wife if he wants to come to England or go to Italy.
"He's just a quality player. Phil Brown obviously knows him from his Bolton days and that's what we want to add to the squad.
"It's no good just getting names for the sake of it if they're not going to improve the squad, because we have got some good players already."
