Hull City chairman Paul Duffen says his club's attempt to sign Town striker Alan Lee now seems to be dead. The Tigers have turned their attention to Leeds frontman Richard Cresswell instead of the Republic of Ireland international.

Duffen said: "We are talking to Leeds about Richard.

"Richard, who is local having been born in Bridlington, is just the sort we would be interested in, especially as the Lee deal seems to be dead."

Hull are also continuing talks with former Bolton striker Henrik Pedersen.
