Brown to splash out on Bosnia's Jahic as Hull shore up leaking defence

20 August 2009 17:22
Hull City are set to sign Bosnia international right-back Sanel Jahic in a £775,000 deal before the weekend. The Aris Thessaloniki defender was at last night's 5-1 thrashing against Tottenham at the KC Stadium and is expected to have a medical today. He is being lined up by Phil Brown as a replacement for Sam Ricketts who joined Bolton for £2.5 million earlier in the summer and is due back at Hull this weekend.  The 27-year-old, who cost the Greek Cup winners just £18,000, started as a striker in Bosnia but was converted to a defender at Thessaloniki. Jahic, who was born in Strasbourg, has earned two international caps as a right wing-back under new national team manager Meho Kodro.
