Tigers Close in On Campbell

Fraizer Campbell’s move to Hull is edging closer, according to Tigers chairman Paul Duffen.

Hull agreed a £6 million fee with Campbell’s club Manchester United last week and were granted permission to speak to the 21-year-old.

Campbell, who is currently in Sweden with the England Under-21s for the European Championships, enjoyed a successful loan spell at the KC Stadium during the 2007-2008 season.

Reports last week claimed the move was in jeopardy due to complications involving the final year of his contract with United.

But Duffen insists Campbell is determined to secure a return to the club and is hopeful of making rapid progress.

He said: "We are in negotiations with Fraizer's advisors and we have got probably as far as we can for the time being.

"There may be some issues they need to finalise with his former club and that's something we can't get involved in.

"We need to do what we can do and wait to see what happens in the fullness of time.

"He is busy now playing in the European Under-21 Championship.

"We are in touch with his advisors and hopefully we can progress things shortly.

"The important thing is we get Fraizer Campbell at Hull City because we are the club he wants to play for."
