Daily transfer rumours from the press as Hull City prepare for life in the Premier League.
Hull City's goalkeeping options remain open according to reports. Despite talks with Allan McGregor, the Mail on Sunday claims Steve Bruce has £4million to secure the transfer of Manchester City keeper Costel Pantilimon.
The Romanian keeper, unable to get first team football as understudy to Joe Hart, has previously been linked with city. But the MoS claims the failure to get Kasper Schmeichel from Leicester and high wage demands from Shay Given mean Pantilimon is now a favoured choice for City.
Meanwhile in Scotland, reports say Hull City's £4million bid for Celtic's Gary Hooper has been gazumped by Reading who have tabled a £5million bid. The Daily Record claims Reading boss Nigel Adkins is desperate to be reunited with Hooper who played for him at Scunthorpe before his move to Celtic three years ago.
City are in a four way fight to secure the signing of former Burnley skipper Chris McCann according to the Nottingham Evening Post.
The midfielder, on City's radar since the end of the season, is now being chased by Leicester, Wigan and Nottingham Forest according to the paper.
Meanwhile crazy twitter talk continues and today it's a return to transfer rumours for Wigan midfield maestro Shaun Maloney who according to tweeters is being pursued - again - by Hull City.
