Boa Morte set to join Hull

West Ham winger Luis Boa Morte is close to joining Hull City, according to Tigers boss Phil Brown.

Brown has revealed the club have agreed a fee with the Hammers for Boa Morte and are hoping that they can agree on a deal for Wigan ace Kevin Kilbane as well.

Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: “We have made progress, things are ongoing.

“The clubs have agreed terms on Luis Boa Morte and we are trying to agree terms on Kevin Kilbane, on a personal front as well.

“They can’t play any part in the Newcastle game but hopefully by Thursday or Friday they will bear some fruit.

“We said at the start of the season we wanted to flood the place with Premier League quality and both those players have it in abundance. To get that quality of player in to Hull City would be great for the football club.”
