Hull City are ‘very close’ to bringing in a new left-back, as confirmed by Grant McCann to BBC Humberside Sport.
The Tigers boss was tight-lipped on the identity of the player but suggests a deal is close.
Hull have been forced to delve back into the transfer window for some more cover and competition at full-back with Brandon Fleming suffering an injury.
McCann has said: “We are looking in that area, I believe we’re very close to one – that come in on Monday which will provide good competition, it’s important.”
