HULL CITY HAVE ‘more or less agreed’ a deal to bring Ireland striker Aaron Connolly back to the Championship on loan.
Connolly is currently on a season-long loan at Serie B club Venezia from his parent club Brighton, but that looks set to be cut short for a return to English football.
The 22-year-old has struggled to break back into the Venezia first team following an injury, and has made just five appearances for the club.
Hull vice-chairman Tan Kesler confirmed on Monday that a deal for Connolly is nearing completion, and could be done ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round meeting with Fulham.
“He is on loan at Venezia, so he is trying to complete some of the paperwork with them,” Kesler told BBC Radio Humberside.
“If that gets done, we will make it happen. It’s more or less been agreed with the player and Brighton.”
Meanwhile, Drogheda United goalkeeper Fiachra Pagel has completed his move to League One Forest Green Rovers.
Pagel, 18, will remain at Drogheda on loan for the opening months of the new League of Ireland First Division season before linking up with Forest Green in July.
LOL. No comment and then makes a comment.
@Peter: it’s the joke club that just keeps on giving
This is the gift that keeps on giving. If I was a pool fan I’d be more worried about firminho going missing for the 90 minutes and karius prone to mistakes… No need for all this other stuff.
To be fair I think a lot of Liverpool fans are embarrassed by the antics and excuses from the club. Most of the Liverpool posters on here have been maintaining radio silence for the last week. Hopefully this will be the end of it and the focus will shift onto the World Cup from now on.
I’m no fan of Ramos but he made the two most interesting points on the salah incident that it was salah who instigated contact and the injury was actually to his opposite shoulder.
@barry: Agreed. If Ramos said it, it has to be true, right?
@MK76: you don’t have to believe him. Just look at the video. His injured shoulder is the opposite one to the “ arm bar” that all the fans were so upset about.
@barry: I’ve been here spud. It’s only a game
@MK76: if you also look at the clash with the keeper it was actually VVD that pushed Ramos into klarius
@barry: Doesn’t matter which arm it was Salah was still injured as a result of that challenge
@Jim: salah won’t try and do a flip next time then?
500,000 idiots thinking a strongly worded letter will change anything. It’s uefa you need envelops not signatures

@$J: someday you might see the irony of your comment.
