Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic is having a medical at West Ham United ahead of joining the Upton Park club, according to Press Association Sport.
West Ham have been frantically searching for a striker after being hit by an injury crisis affecting their forward options and, following a number of links, have moved for Jelavic.
The 30-year-old is now being put through his medical paces by the Hammers and is tipped to answer their striking woes.
A move to Upton Park would see Jelavic reunite with his former Croatia coach Slaven Bilic, who is now in charge at West Ham.
Jelavic moved to British football when he linked up with Rangers in 2010 and his exploits in Scotland earned him a move south of the border to Everton.

The Toffees sold Jelavic to Hull last year, but the 30-year-old was unable to help the Tigers survive in the Premier League last season and they slipped into the Championship.
But Jelavic is now set to make a quick-fire return to England's top flight with West Ham.
