Hull City are closing on a deal for Bournemouth defender Marc Wilson.

The Daily Mail says the Republic of Ireland international looks set to leave the south coast this summer and the Tigers are ready to make a firm move for the 29-year-old.

Having joined Bournemouth at the start of last season, Wilson found himself on the peripheries of the first-team and was loaned out to West Brom in January, where he made four appearances.

And with the World Cup on the horizon, a regular football elsewhere is likely to suit Wilson.
