Premier League - Kilbane and Boa Morte for Hull

Manager Phil Brown revealed on Tuesday morning the club have agreed a fee with West Ham for Boa Morte and were hoping to reach a similar agreement with Wigan and speak to both midfielders.

Brown is keen to strengthen his squad after a run of just one win in 12 games and would like new players in place before Saturday's Barclays Premier League

Brown, whose side face Newcastle in an FA Cup third-round replay on Wednesday night, said: "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.

Hull manager Phil Brown has revealed that the Tigers have joined the chase for Liverpool's out-of-favour winger Jermaine Pennant.

In one of the most surprising developments of the January transfer window, Pennant has been heavily linked with a move to Spanish champions Real Madrid.

Yet with that transfer still seeming unlikely, other clubs have been alerted to the forme player's potential availability.

Wigan, Tottenham and Stoke have all been linked to the 25-year-old, who has failed to impress in two-and-a-half years at Anfield, and now Hull have revealed their interest.

Brown said: "I would be very interested in Jermaine Pennant if he was available at the right price. We will be making enquiries."

A move for Pennant this month would come 10 years after Arsenal made headlines by paying£2million for the then 15-year-old.
