Hull City boss Phil Brown expects to add up to eight new players to his squad ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.

The promoted Tigers have verbally agreed a deal with Derby County to sign former on-loan forward Craig Fagan.

But Brown has yet to significantly strengthen his play-off final winning squad ahead of what promises to be a difficult season in the top-flight.

However despite the lack of transfer activity, the Tigers boss expects to be busy between now and the time the window closes at the end of August.

"Things are ongoing and I'm sure I'll be getting asked the question right up until August 31," he told the club's official website.

"Everybody has a job to do, but at the moment my responsibility is to answer the question with a straight bat. We haven't signed anybody yet.

"We've verbally agreed things with regards Craig Fagan, which came out a couple of weeks ago.

"The two clubs have agreed things and we're waiting for Craig to come back from holiday and sign the papers. That's the first one.

"What Craig will bring to the squad will be power, pace and a bit of Premier League experience. That will bolster the squad.

"Hopefully there will be six or seven others following Craig into the club."
