Hull City boss Phil Brown has held talks with off contract Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell.

"I've had a good conversation with Sol Campbell," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail, "It was obviously in protection if I lost Michael Turner.

"We might have priced Michael or ourselves out of the market with regards to his valuation but if that's the case, then I'll be delighted.

"If it's not the case and someone is willing to meet our valuation, I'll need a centre-half.

"I spoke with Sol because I was allowed to speak with him, he's not contracted to another club, but that doesn't mean to say it would come cheap.

"He's certainly of interest to me if I was to lose a centre-half, but at this stage there's nothing new to say on Michael."
