Former Fulham defender Steve Finnan |
|
Hull City have agreed a deal with Espanyol for former Fulham full-back Steve Finnan according to Skysports.com.
Finnan, 32, only joined the Primera outfit in the summer from Liverpool but saw
his time in Spain disrupted by a series of niggling injuries.
In total he was only able to make four appearances for the struggling Catalans
who find themselves in the relegation places in La Liga.
Tottenham and Newcastle were amongst the teams interested in taking the former
Republic of Ireland international back to The Premier League, but Hull have
moved quickly to put a deal in place.
Having agreed a fee of €1.5million (£1.35million) with Espanyol, the Tigers are
now scheduled to meet Finnan on Thursday with a two-and-a-half year contract on
the table.
Provided Finnan agrees personal terms and comes through a medical, the transfer
is expected to go through later on Thursday.
Finnan would become Hull's second capture of the transfer window following
the signing of Kevin Kilbane from Wigan.
