Jamie Vardy could be heading back to English football this summer, with Hull City tipped as a potential destination for the Leicester legend.
The 39-year-old striker is set to become a free agent after Cremonese's relegation from Serie A ended his Italian adventure after just one season.
Vardy had planned to extend his stay in Italy if the club avoided the drop, but their demotion to Serie B has changed everything.
TalkSPORT's Jeff Stelling has thrown his support behind a move to the newly-promoted Tigers, suggesting the veteran forward would be a brilliant addition to their attacking options.

"I'm not sure he will be coming back to the Premier League," he admitted. "But when I look at Hull, the way they play, it might suit Jamie Vardy if he wants another crack at the Premier League."
The presenter pointed to Hull's recruitment strategy as a key factor.
"They've gone for experienced players, you look at their squad, it's bang full of experienced players," Stelling said. "And you don't get much more experienced than Jamie Vardy."
He also noted the Tigers already have Oli McBurnie up front, who "deserves a chance."
Hull City are back in the Premier League | REUTERSThere's certainly no question about Vardy's ability to find the net in England's top flight.
During his remarkable 13-year spell at Leicester, he made 500 appearances for the Foxes and played a crucial role in their stunning Premier League title triumph.
His goalscoring record speaks for itself – 145 strikes in 342 top-flight matches puts him among the league's elite.
That tally places him in the prestigious 100 club and ranks him 14th on the all-time Premier League scorers list.
It's a CV that few strikers can match, and one that proves he knows exactly where the goal is.
Vardy's time in Italy may have been brief, but he certainly made an impression.

The striker bagged seven goals and chipped in with three assists across 29 appearances for Cremonese, including two crucial strikes during their relegation battle.
Injury troubles in March and April did hamper his impact, though, and ultimately the club couldn't avoid the drop.
A move to Rangers has also been floated, but Ally McCoist dismissed the idea on talkSPORT's Transfer Tinder.
