Hull have accepted a bid worth £10million from West Bromwich Albion for Jake Livermore with the midfielder expected in the Midlands for a medical later on Thursday.
Tony Pulis had seen an initial approach of £8m plus add-ons turned down by Hull but returned with an improved offer and is on the verge of completing the signing.
West Brom are also interested in Watford's Odion Ighalo but are only set to make a bid should cash be raised by the sale of Saido Berahino, with Stoke readying an offer.
Pulis, though, will be delighted to secure the signature of Livermore, who has been a long-term target and also offers cover in defence.
