Hull City close to signing Jimmy Bullard from Fulham
It is understood the clubs are close to agreeing a fee for Bullard, 30, who has found himself part of Fabio Capello's England squad over the past season. [LNB]However, Fulham are not keen to offer Bullard fresh terms as he has 18-months remaining on his current deal. A number of clubs have been alerted to Bullard's situation and earlier this month Bolton failed with a bid. [LNB]Bullard Fulham from Wigan for £2.5m in 2006, but suffered a dislocated kneecap soon after arriving at Craven Cottage, and was out of first-team action until January 2008. [LNB]Tottenham, Middlesbrough and Sunderland have also been strongly linked, but now Phil Brown has made his move and he will be looking to seal a quick deal. [LNB]The Hull manager has already signed Kevin Kilbane, from Wigan, and Manchester United's Manucho, on loan for the rest of the season. [LNB]Marlon King returned to Wigan - and immediately signed for Middlesbrough on loan - and Brown believes Bullard will help kick-start Hull's season after a good start. [LNB]
