Hull City boss Phil Brown has confirmed talks with Tottenham defender Ricardo Rocha about a loan move.

"At this stage it's just about talking to players, inviting them in and seeing the whites of their eyes," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail. "We've had a bit of a conversation with the player about whether or not he would be keen on coming to Hull City.

"I don't think people see a small club when they see Hull City, they've probably got a judgement call on how quickly the club can progress.

"I know what the player is capable of, but it was a progress report on how he would feel about coming here."
