Hull set to rubberstamp Abel Hernandez deal

Hull City are wrapping up the signing of Palermo striker Abel Hernandez this morning.

The Uruguay international flew in for talks ahead of his proposed £9.5million move to the KC Stadium on Wednesday after manager Steve Bruce turned his attention to Hernandez after failing to convince Blackburn Rovers to sell Jordan Rhodes.

And it now appears Bruce has finally added a striker to his ranks after confirming the club have received a work permit for the 24-year-old.

"We expect the Hernandez deal to be completed before Monday's deadline," said Bruce.

"We are just awaiting his signature. The work permit is already in."
