Brown ‘holding his breath’ over Zamora deal

Hull City boss Phil Brown admits he is ‘holding his breath’ over a deal to sign Bobby Zamora from Fulham this summer.

Fulham have accepted a £5million bid from Hull for the striker, but after having suffered several transfer setbacks this summer Brown is taking nothing for granted.

Michael Owen, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Fraizer Campbell all looked set to join Hull, but instead joined other clubs.

“Bobby is still away with Fulham in Australia,” said Brown.

“They get back on Friday and it is my intention to meet him over the weekend to discuss personal terms and let him undergo a medical.

“Am I optimistic? Put it this way, after the summer I’ve had you just never know until it’s all signed, sealed and delivered.

“But let’s just say I’m holding my breath.”
