Hull City boss Steve Bruce says a deal is in place for Tottenham defender Michael Dawson.
Speaking after his side's 1-1 draw with Stoke, Bruce confirmed his summer-long pursuit of 30-year-old Dawson was close to bearing fruit and hopes to push the transfer through quickly.
"It's up to me to bring two or three in, we're close to one in particular and we hope we can get that over the line," said Bruce.
"Michael Dawson we hope we can get. There's a deal in place in principle anyway. Hopefully, touch wood we'll see what develops."
