Hull striker Abel Hernandez set for Serie A return

Abel Hernandez looks set to leave Hull City this summer and return to Italy to play in Serie A.

The Uruguayan striker was handed a three-match ban by the FA on Thursday for punching Manchester United defender Phil Jones in the stomach on the final day of the Premier League season.

And it appears to have been his final notable act in a Hull City shirt with Sampdoria and city rivals Genoa battling it out for his signature.

According to Gazette TV, Hull will be prepared to sell the 24-year-old for the right offer as they try to clear their wage bill following their relegation to the Championship.

Hernandez, who joined the Tigers from Palermo last summer, struggled to make an impact in the Premier League, scoring just four goals in 24 appearances.
