Cousin leaves Hull City for Larissa

HULL CITY striker Daniel Cousin has completed a permanent move to Greek side Larissa.

Gabon international Cousin spent the second half of last season on loan with Larissa and his departure opens the door for manager Nigel Pearson to bring in new blood.

Pearson wants Cardiff City's Ross McCormack and Arsenal's Jay Simpson and hopes to wrap up the signature of at least one before this weekend's game against Watford.

The Tigers, meanwhile, have confirmed that stadium sponsors KC have agreed to extend their deal until 2025 – a move which will be worth several million pounds to the club over the next 15 years.
