Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.
ONE man who seems to be in the dark about his future at the Tigers is Robert Koren.
Without a Premier League start since a 1-0 defeat to Norwich on January 18, the Slovenian's lack of game-time in the top-flight has alerted clubs in lower divisions, namely Brighton and Millwall.
But the latter's boss, Ian Holloway, has dismissed suggestions the Tigers midfielder is one of the Lions' transfer targets.
Holloway said: "He is about as far as I would want as anyone could be.
"He plays beautiful passing football but would be much better suited to just about any other club.
"I cannot see him coming to us. I have already had half an eye on what we do in the summer and will do so again on Monday, but Koren is not on our list of targets."
Should Koren be kept on at the Tigers? Let us know in the comments section below.Leeds assured over Stewart signingLeeds United boss Brian McDermott says they are committed to buying winger Cameron Stewart from the Tigers in the summer.
The winger has been on loan at Elland Road since January but has struggled to hold down a regular place in the side and he has played just eleven times since arriving on loan in January.
Stewart hasn't featured in any of the last four games. His last start was against Doncaster Rovers in March, but McDermott has reiterated that Leeds are committed to the three-year deal with the 23-year-old winger.
"Cameron will be signed in the summer. We are committed to the signing," McDermott told his weekly press conference.Gabby could be the key
Ahead of tomorrow's clash at Villa Park, rival boss Paul Lambert believes Gabby Agbonlahor could be a key asset in seeing a Tigers defeat due to his undeniable pace and power.
Lambert is a firm admirer of Agbonlahor and thinks the long-serving forward has what it takes to help tame the Tigers.
"I thought on Saturday, especially in the first half, that Gabby was excellent," Lambert said in his pre-match conference.
"His work-rate and the way he performed was excellent. He was a handful. His goal was well deserved too.
"We have lost two main players, two strikers – (Libor) Kozak and (Christian) Benteke. We are asking Gabby to do a role now – I know he has done it before – but he's a different type from Kozak and Benteke.
"But his performance was excellent on Saturday. We are hoping he goes on that little run of goals now. That's what Gabby can do.
"When he's on form, he's very hard to stop with his pace and power."Merson predicts a point for Tigers survivalSky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes all of the pressure is on Aston Villa tomorrow in their clash against the Tigers.
Predicting a 1-1 draw – enough to see City seal their safety in the top flight – Mers says Villa will be hoping other teams below them can avoid victories to make their survival push smoother.
"If Fulham had held on to their lead against Hull last week then I'd have been really worried about Aston Villa and this would have been a completely different game," Merson said.
"However, that result means Villa will probably have too much because the teams below them need to win two games out of two.
"Villa can't afford to lose this game and I can see it being a draw - and then they'll hoping teams below them like Fulham don't win both their matches, which would be a big ask.
"This is a big football match in other ways, though, because if they lose it then you might find a few fans don't renew their season tickets for next season."Vote for your Player of the Year
