Cousin relief at Tigers move

New Hull City signing Daniel Cousin has revealed his relief at finally sealing a move to the Premier League.
The Gabon striker arrived at the KC Stadium on a three-year deal on transfer deadline day after the Tigers agreed a £1.5million fee with Rangers.
Cousin had seen a previous move to Fulham in the January transfer window fall through when FIFA intervened and blocked the deal as the 31-year-old had already represented two clubs during the same calendar year.
However, Hull fans will have to wait to see the former Lens forward in action as his red card during Sunday's Old Firm victory over Celtic means he will miss their side's next clash with Newcastle United later this month.
"It was fantastic to finish my time at Rangers by scoring in the Old Firm game," he said. "I don't think I'll ever forget that experience.
"It has always been my ambition to play in the Premiership. It almost happened for me when Fulham came but now it's finally a reality.
"I wish Rangers all the best and believe they can recapture the title. I'd like the fans to know I always gave my best for them."
