The January transfer window is now officially open for business. Teams up and down the EPL table will be looking at ways to improve their squad and Hull City, with a relegation fight on their hands, may well be one of the busier clubs. Here are five players the Tigers could target between now and close of business on Feb. 2.

The Hull City defense has not managed to reach the standards they did last season so far in 2014-15. Steve Bruce will be looking at that area of the field and a move for an old, experienced head may be a wise move on Bruce's behalf. Former Manchester City and Tottenham defender, Vedran Corluka, has been linked recently and could fill the description Bruce has in mind to help improve his defense.

Hull have had some issues with injuries to their top two goalkeepers, Allan McGregor and Steve Harper, this season. Both are players are in their 30s now, with Harper being the older at 39. A younger goalkeeper is seemingly on Bruce's wishlist and Robin Olsen is a goalkeeper who has impressed for Malmo in Sweden this season. However, Olsen reportedly became a free agent last Wednesday, Dec. 31, and will have a few offers to choose from.

Hull City have strangely been linked to Pablo Armero of Udinese in recent times. Armero is having a difficult time on loan at AC Milan this season and Hull have been reported to be interested in bringing the Colombian in to the KC Stadium for a second stint in the EPL.

The reports emanating form the British media suggest Jermaine Defoe is destined to soon return to the EPL and most likely before the end of January. Any team in the lower half of the table would welcome Defoe for his natural goalscoring ability and Bruce has already confirmed Hull's interest in the player. Matching Defoe's Toronto FC wages may be an issue for lower half EPL teams, however.

Adnan Januzaj is one of the brightest prospects Manchester United have, but the Belgian is not improving in his current situation being on United's bench every week. United manager, Louis van Gaal, is reportedly keen to send Januzaj out on loan for some consistent first team minutes and Hull City are at the front of the queue for the young attacker.
