Hull target Boa Morte and Kilbane
Hull City manager Phil Brown has said he is hopeful of completing the signings of Luis Boa Morte and Kevin Kilbane by the end of the week.
A fee has been agreed with West Ham for Boa Morte, while the Tigers are close to agreeing terms for Wigan's Kilbane.
"We have made progress, things are ongoing," Brown said.
"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."
After a bright start to their debut season in the Premier League, which included victory at Arsenal, Hull are currently on a run of just one win in 12 games.
With his side currently eighth in the table, and just seven points above the relegation zone, Brown is keen to strengthen his squad during the transfer window to ensure they consolidate their place in the top flight.
He is hoping to tie up the deals for 31-year-old Boa Morte and Kilbane, also 31, before Saturday's return clash with Arsenal and has not ruled out further signings in January.
Speaking ahead of Hull's FA Cup third round replay with Newcastle on Wednesday, Brown added: "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.
"I would like in an ideal world maybe three or four players in and three or four out - but it is not an ideal world.
"If there are some players out there you can get hold of and they will strengthen the situation, it is always good to go and get hold of them.
"To freshen the place up wouldn't be a bad thing. We are looking to bring a striker in and we are looking to bring another defender in."
Boa Morte has struggled to hold down a regular first team place at West Ham since his £5m move from Fulham in 2007 and has managed just one goal in 66 appearances at Upton Park.
Republic of Ireland international Kilbane joined Wigan after spending three years at Everton but has slipped down the pecking order at the JJB Stadium, featuring in 11 of Wigan's 20 Premier League games this season.
Both players would offer Brown more options on the left side of midfield, with Peter Halmosi the club's only-recognised left-footed midfielder. |
