Hull confident over Negredo deal

Real Madrid forward Alvaro Negredo heads Hull manager Phil Brown’s wanted list as he continues his search for new blood before the end of the transfer window.

The Tigers yesterday unveiled Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Hunt and Algerian striker Kamel Ghilas, their third and fourth signings of the close season, but talk soon turned to the club’s audacious move for the £12m-rated Negredo.
