HULL City could be alerted to news coming out of the West Brom camp in that Joleon Lescott is apparently unsettled at the Baggies. Despite putting pen to paper at the Hawthorns just 28 days ago, the 31-year-old is said to be concerned after Brom failed to land their major targets, according to The Mirror. The Tigers were said to be close to signing the former England defender, but instead he opted for a move to his native Midlands on a free from Manchester City exactly a month ago. With the Harry Maguire saga seemingly close, another swoop for Lescott looks unlikely, but the papers aren't ruling anything out. West Brom convinced Lescott he would not be stuck in a fresh battle against the drop as they intended to sign more exciting new players. But Monaco frontman Emmanuel Riviere chose to go to Newcastle and Ecuador's World Cup winger Jefferson Montero now looks set for Swansea. New boss Alan Irvine admitted the club are struggling to complete deals. The former Everton coach said: "We have good players here, no question, but there are big gaps.Ramis rumoured for Tigers move? THE Tigers have this morning been linked with a move for out-of-favour Wigan defender Ivan Ramis. The 29-year-old is on his way out of the DW Stadium, and a transfer has long been on the cards for the Spaniard. Ramis failed a medical at Crystal Palace in January, as the Latics wanted to keep hold of their man. Talks with Cardiff City in the transfer window also broke down. But the Sunday People now say Steve Bruce is interested in raiding his former club and going for Ramis. Worrying for City though, as Ramis has suffered serious injuries in the past, which has put clubs off of signing him. Back in the January of the 2012/13 season, Ramis was ruled out for the rest of that season because of a knee ligament injury. Scans showed that he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, and by all accounts, he's not been the same player since. Will Brucey take a punt on the centre-back, though?Will City have to double offer for Maguire? So, the saga for Harry Maguire rumbles on, and the Daily Mail are reporting that City have had a bid of £2million rejected for the Sheffield United defender. The 21-year-old is valued at £4m by the League One side, and are holding firm on their price. However, the Blades recently completed the signing of Blackpool defender Harrison McGahey, 18, pending a tribunal, so the path is paved for Maguire to finally seal his move.
