Nikica Jelavic will reportedly ask to leave Hull City on loan if the club is relegated from the Premier League later today.

The Tigers must beat Manchester United in their final fixture of the campaign and hope that Newcastle United do not beat West Ham United to avoid dropping into the Championship.

According to The Sun, the striker wants to stay in the top flight next season, so will ask to be sent out on loan if Hull do finish in the bottom three.

Jelavic joined the club from Everton in January 2014, for a fee in the region of £7m.
