Hull City have struck terms for Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone.
The Daily Mail says Hull have agreed a club-record £5.25m deal for Huddlestone, and Tigers manager Steve Bruce has also secured a loan move to take his Spurs team-mate Jake Livermore for the season.
Bruce is now hoping to agree personal terms with Huddlestone, but fears Sunderland could still make a bid for the 26-year-old, who has four England caps.
