Hull City are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the transfer of England midfielder Ryan Mason, according to Sky Sports.

Mason made his long-awaited Spurs breakthrough under Mauricio Pochettino two seasons ago, leading to a new long-term contract and international recognition.

However, the 25-year-old’s exposure to first team football decreased during the 2015-16 campaign and he is yet to feature this term.

The summer capture of Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama is set to further limit Mason’s chances and a move to Hull could be his best bet of breaking into Sam Allardyce’s England plans.

The Tigers, who have won both their Premier League fixtures despite possessing a squad of 13 senior players, are yet to add to their senior ranks following their promotion from the Championship in May.

Should Mason make the move to Yorkshire, he would reunite with a trio of former White Hart Lane stars – Jake Livermore, Tom Huddlestone and Michael Dawson.

The 25-year-old previously enjoyed three loan spells in the region, each with Doncaster Rovers at the beginning of the decade.
