Hull City boss Marco Silva has defended the sale of Jake Livermore to West Brom.

With Livermore joining West Brom this week for £10m, fans fear Robert Snodgrass will be next out the door.

Asked if it is possible they would get an offer that was too good to turn down for Snodgrass, Silva said: “It's possible, always possible, but I'm not thinking about this situation.

"I don't have news about Snodgrass. He didn't train with us for the last couple of days because he's had problems with a muscle.

“We'll see if it's possible or not that he'll play in the next game. But about transfers, nothing.

“It is never good to lose important players and Livermore was really important for us.

“My focus is not on selling players, but we don't have a big budget and it was important to get the funds."
