Everton should exploit Hull City’s need to let a few players depart this summer.
Hull City are keen to recoup around £7 million for Polish international Kamil Grosicki, says the Hull Daily Mail, and Grosicki may well consider what he could achieve at Everton, over his prospects elsewhere.
The Hull winger delivered 107 crosses and scored three goals from 15 appearances last season which could convince Everton to flex their financial power again by joining the race to sign Grosicki. Koeman is said to be a long-term admirer of the Polish winger having tried to sign him in the past, the Daily Express recalls.

Grosicki, 28, inspired several exciting home game wins last season for Hull City and has caught the eye of several Premier League sides. Grosicki was linked with a move to Vicarage Road when Marco Silva became the Hornet’s new manager, reported the Watford Observer.
West Ham United have also been monitoring the player, says the Daily Mirror, along with Newcastle, claims the Sun.
Ronald Koeman has the luxury of Kevin Mirallas who recently signed a new three-year deal, as highlighted by the BBC. However, there are doubts about the other wide options at the club with Everton’s Aaron Lennon unavailable according to the BBC.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has activated the buy-back clause in Gerard Deulofeu’s contract, reports TalkSport. This may give Koeman more reason to reassess his options on both wings.

Joining Everton would not be a big step up for Grosicki. He was a former Bayer Leverkusen and Rennes player and has a fabulous attacking style that is very direct. Having not played a full season for Hull, there may be some doubts over Grosicki’s durability. However, Grosicki’s record for Poland in internationals tournaments has been excellent.
