Kevin Kilbane has undergone a medical at Hull City as he looks to finalise his move to the KC Stadium.

City boss Phil Brown is aiming to tie up a double swoop for Kilbane, and West Ham United's Luis Boa Morte, ahead of Saturday's game against Arsenal.

A fee has been agreed for Boa Morte, while Wigan Athletic utility man Kilbane has spent the day holding talks with the Tigers.

Speaking after the 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay win over Newcastle United, assistant manager Brian Horton confirmed discussions are progressing.

And Horton also revealed that the Republic of Ireland international has been put through a medical by the Tigers.

Horton said: "He's had his medical today and there'll be further talks tomorrow."

Kilbane, who can play at left-back or left midfield, has struggled for first-team opportunities at Wigan this season.
