Tigers eyeing Kilbane

PHIL BROWN has admitted Hull City want Kevin Kilbane, but has warned Wigan Athletic that a deal will depend on the valuation of the Ireland international being lowered.

The Tigers manager is keen to bolster his squad during the January transfer window and is a long-standing admirer of the former Sunderland and Everton wideman.

Brown has made an enquiry to Latics counterpart Steve Bruce about a player whose involvement at the JJB this season has largely been restricted to cameos from the bench and is believed to have been quoted a price of around £1million.
