Hull manager Phil Brown is hoping to complete the signing of Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng.

The 32-year-old was due to undergo a medical on Monday after the two clubs agreed a fee thought to be around £1million.

The Holland international will become Hull's fourth summer signing after completing deals for Craig Fagan, Geovanni and Bernard Mendy ahead of their first Barclays Premier League season.

Brown said: "George is currently in Sheffield doing a medical and, fingers crossed, in the next 24 hours hopefully we will have another international-quality player."
