The Senegal international has been at Steve Bruce’s side since 2014 when he made a £3.5-million move from West Ham United.

Diame stayed at the Tigers to help them push for a return to the Premier League, and the strong midfielder has played a huge role since returning to action in August.

Hull currently sit top of the table, with Diame bagging four goals in 24 appearances. The former Wigan Athletic man has 16 months remaining on his contract at Hull and could be tempted to jump ship with Hull City’s promotion not yet guaranteed.
