Cash-strapped Hull have put their entire squad up for sale in a bid to raise much needed funds before the start of next season.[LNB]The Tigers, relegated from the Premier League last season, need to generate around £8m from a firesale before August to remain financially stable. [LNB]It means anyone is available at the right price as the Tigers battle debts approaching £38m.[LNB]Striker Caleb Folan could spearhead the summer sales, with Leeds and an unnamed French club leading the race to sign the Republic of Ireland international.[LNB]It is understood Leeds are plotting a £1m bid for the former Wigan star. Stephen Hunt and Steven Mouyokolo are also close to leaving the KC Stadium. [LNB] On the move? Stephen Hunt (left) is one of Hull's prime assets[LNB]West Brom are favourites to sign winger Hunt after neighbours Wolves dropped their interest in the Irish winger.[LNB]Defender Mouyokolo, meanwhile, is expected to complete a £3.75m move to Stoke within the next 48 hours.[LNB]It has emerged the Tigers need to sell Mouyokolo because they still owe around £2m to Boulogne after signing him in January 2009.[LNB]The Tigers also still owe £2.75m to Reading for Hunt and £1m to Fulham for record-signing Jimmy Bullard, which means they are desperate to move the duo on to help settle outstanding debts.[LNB]Owner and chairman Russell Bartlett, meanwhile, has held talks with Paul Hart about the vacant manager's job and is expected to make an announcement within the next 10 days. Over and out: Sacked boss Phil Brown finalises Hull City departure terms HULL CITY FC
