Hull City are tracking Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.
The newly-promoted side are assessing midfield options ahead of the new campaign, with the Belgian international emerging as a potential target. Interest in Raskin is growing across Europe, with Serie A clubs Atalanta and Bologna both credited with tracking his situation this summer while he represents his country at the World Cup.
The Rangers Review reports that Hull are among the clubs keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old, although no formal bid has been submitted to Ibrox officials at this stage. Any deal would require a significant eight-figure fee, reflecting Raskin’s importance to the squad.

Raskin could be one of several high-profile departures as Derek McInnes reshapes his squad following his appointment as manager. Captain James Tavernier has already moved on, while uncertainty remains over the futures of Jack Butland and Mohamed Diomande.
Despite the speculation, Rangers are under no financial pressure to sell. It was previously revealed that Raskin has more than a year remaining on his contract, potentially making this summer a key window to maximise his value following his World Cup involvement.
Hull already have former Rangers midfielders John Lundstram and Kieran Dowell in their ranks and secured promotion with a play-off final win over Middlesbrough at Wembley. However, Raskin is expected to attract widespread interest and will weigh up his options in the coming weeks.
