Hull City vice-chairman Ehab Allam has backed new signing Dame N'Doye to boost the team in their fight for Premier League survival.
The Senegalese striker, 29, joined the struggling Tigers on deadline day from Lokomotiv Moscow for around £2m.
Allam believes that N'Doye is the type of player that can help to guide Steve Bruce's side out of the relegation zone and up the standings in the coming weeks.
"N'Doye is a great addition and can only help us," he told the Hull Daily Mail. "With a fully-fit squad, we are definitely a mid-table team. Our problem has been the number of injuries. N'Doye gives us another option up front and if injuries occur again, we've got another striker of a similar standing."
Hull return to Premier League action on Saturday with a trip to champions Manchester City.
