Tigers close on new players

Hull City manager Phil Brown has revealed his interest in signing Peter Halmosi, but has admitted Plymouth Argyle's valuation of the midfielder could scupper any deal.
The Pilgrims have reportedly told the Premier League new boys that they want £2.5million for the Hungary international.
However, that valuation of the versatile 28-year-old midfielder is not matched by Brown.
Plymouth paid £400,000 to sign Halmosi from Debreceni just 12 months ago.
He said: "He's certainly one that we would be interested in, but we have been given a quote by Plymouth that is way and above our estimation of the player."
Meanwhile, the Tigers are close to completing a £750,000 deal with Derby County to sign former on-loan forward Craig Fagan.
The 25-year-old spent the last two months of the season on loan at the KC Stadium and made 11 appearances in their successful run through the play-offs to the top-flight.
