Hull City could seek two foreign loan signings this month.

Paul McShane and Marlon King are already on loan from fellow Premier League clubs - and two is the permitted limit from England - but Tigers could add new loan signings from abroad.

"Both our permitted loan slots are taken up, which means if that stays the same we can't loan players from English clubs, we will have to be looking abroad," said Duffen.

"We have obviously been monitoring players throughout the season we think might be of interest now or in the summer.

"That continues and we are certainly looking at positions we feel we might want to strengthen."
