Hull City winger Kamil Grosicki is reportedly a target for Newcastle United after The Tigers were relegated from the Premier League.
It appears that Rafael Benitez’s agent has let the cat out the bag somewhat.
The report adds that Crystal Palace, West Brom and Watford will challenge for the Polish international, who did his best to keep The Tigers in the Premier League with a string of influential displays following a £7.5 million January move from Rennes.

Yet, Garcia reportedly claimed that Newcastle will be willing to ensure Hull recoup their outlay by paying up to £9.65 million for the dynamic winger, who is determined to return to the Premier League this summer.
Whether this is enough to get Newcastle off the mark at last in the off-season remains to be seen. So far, only Christian Atsu has joined the newly promoted club on a permanent basis after spending last season on loan at St James’ Park from Chelsea.
Big money, big signing
Benitez is understood to be looking at options to reinforce the left-flank despite Atsu putting pen to paper on a permanent deal. The Chronicle even claims they are attempting to renew Yoan Gouffran’s contract despite letting him become a free-agent this summer.
Grosicki, however, would be the sort of exciting deal the fans are crying out for. Though he didn’t find the net in 15 Premier League appearances last season, he did produce three assists and win the PFA Fans Player of the Month award for April.
He, unlike many of his Hull team-mates, proved himself to be a Premier League calibre player. So it’s no surprise that there’s little shortage of top flight interest.
