Hull have agreed a fee with Everton for Nikica Jelavic and will now discuss personal terms with the Croatia striker.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has made it clear he will allow Jelavic, 28, to leave for the right price this month to boost his World Cup prospects.
Jelavic has started five Premier League matches this season.
The Tigers have scored 22 goals in their 20 Premier League matches this season, with six of those coming in a 6-0 win over Fulham.Hull manager Steve Bruce has made attacking reinforcements a priority this month.
Hull's current top-scorer in the league is winger Robbie Brady, who has managed three goals.
Jelavic, who scored twice in the 4-0 FA Cup win over QPR last weekend, joined Everton from Rangers for £5.5m two years ago and scored nine goals in 13 league appearances following his arrival.
But he netted just two goals in the whole of 2013 and has fallen behind on-loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku in Martinez's plans.
After joining Rangers from Rapid Vienna in 2010, he scored 36 goals in 55 matches for the Glasgow club.
