Hull City boss Phil Brown has endured a frustrating time in the transfer market this summer and is now looking for 'two or maybe three' new arrivals signed up as quickly as possible. Brown admits finding an elusive striker remains his main priority.

"The striker is the final piece of the jigsaw," he said.

"It is not one we are looking for it is one or two. It is proving difficult.

"There are vastly-inflated prices and vastly-inflated deals on the table but unfortunately that is the nature of the game at the moment.

"We have our valuation of players out there and the chairman (Paul Duffen ) and I will be sitting down and talking long and hard about moving these deals forward as quickly as possible so that when we arrive back in England (after the Asia Cup ) hopefully two or maybe three will be putting pen to paper."
