Hull City close to tying up deal for Faye

The 25-year-old frontman will be veiled by the Tigers today, with Faye, 34, expected to become the club’s fourth summer signing after considering the club’s offer of a one-year deal shortly.

Faye has also received offers from abroad and a rival Championship club, but is poised to sign on the dotted line with City.

Leeds are pressing ahead with moves to sign Rodolph Austin and Luke Varney, with the latter close to a £200,000 move to Elland Road.

Austin’s parent club Brann are expected to make a decision on his future by the end of the week with the Jamaican international, who has rejected a new deal, desperate to start discussions with United and finalise his switch.

Meanwhile, it was a family affair at Ilkeston last night during their friendly clash with Sheffield United, with Blades defender Harry Maguire and his brother Joe scoring at opposite ends in the 1-1 draw.

The visiting centre-half put United ahead in the first half, only for Joe, on as a sub, to level late on.

Ex-Walsall Darryl Westlake, set to become Danny Wilson’s first permanent signing of the summer, came on in the second half for United, who also ran the rule over ex-Rotherham and Stevenage defender Luke Foster.

Loan striker John Cofie, recently brought in from Manchester United, featured for the whole of the second period.

York City boss Gary Mills has scotched talks that Cork City have bought out the contract of Minstermen striker Liam Henderson, although admits the League of Ireland club have made an enquiry.
