Hull City boss Phil Brown still hopes to resurrect a deal to sign Ipswich Town striker Alan Lee.

The Tigers had a £600,000 bid for the 28-year-old rejected earlier this month, but Brown remains optimistic that the move will eventually happen.

He told the Hull Daily Mail: "The deal is still alive. The bid was put on the table, was turned down but remains very much on the table.

"They (Ipswich) have now made contact with us and have now come down in their estimation of Alan Lee.

"It's not a game of bluff or a game of stick or twist, it's just a case of our estimation is where it's at.

"If Ipswich are happy with that estimation and are willing to accept the bid then he could still become a Hull City player."
