Hull City chairman Paul Duffen admits they are chasing European qualification this season.

Duffen told the Hull Daily Mail: "The focus now has to be on qualifying for Europe.

"We are sixth in the Premier League in the middle of December and just two games away from the halfway point of the season.

"It would be strange if we weren't thinking of finishing sixth at the end of the campaign and if we finished there, that would mean we have qualified for Europe."
