Wearing the number 37, Lumu has scored three goals in 28 appearances since 2012 for Willem II.
"Jeroen Lumu has gone to England for an internship at Hull City AFC," read a statement on the Willem II's official website.
"The young striker from Willem II goes from 16 to 21 December, for the chance to play in the Premier League club in the spotlight.
"We wish Jeroen luck!"
