Hull City have agreed terms with Algeria striker Kamel Ghilas. Tigers boss Phil Brown has offered Celta Vigo £2 million for the 25-year-old French-born forward, who was part of their squad which was relegated from La Liga last season. Ghilas, who has 13 Algeria caps, passed a medical at the KC Stadium on Tuesday and he is expected to be in the squad to travel to Chelsea this weekend. Brown is also hoping to complete the signing of Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt when the Republic of Ireland international returns from his country's friendly against Australia in Limerick.
