Hull still hoping to tie up Palermo's Hernandez

Hull City boss Steve Bruce says the club is still looking to complete the transfer of Abel Hernandez from Palermo.

The 24-year old Uruguayan striker has passed a medical and agree personal terms to join the Tigers but some final pieces of paperwork need to be sorted out before the deal can be concluded.

"Things are advancing quickly, we have to get work permits and bits and pieces done but we're trying hard," said Bruce after Hull were dumped out of the Europa League play-offs by Lokeren on Thursday night.

"The medical is okay, and personal terms, we just have to get through the red tape.

"There's still one or two issues to be ironed out. We'll see how we get on."
