One last Wolves push for Hull's Hunt

Wolves are gearing up for the final week of the transfer window by preparing one last push for Hull winger Stephen Hunt.

The clubs' clash at the KC Stadium this Saturday isn't the ideal backdrop for Wolves prising their survival rivals' best player. But it won't stop them mounting what is expected to be a third and final bid for the Republic of Ireland international.

Two approaches rising to £3.5million have been rejected by the Tigers, but the indications are they could go in again to tempt them into selling. It is understood Hull's need to line up a replacement, or another striker before the window shuts could hold up any deal.

Wolves, who were linked with a £1m move for their former striker Jason Roberts at Blackburn at the weekend, still want another forward, while there could be some outgoing activity on loan.

Chief executive Jez Moxey said: "We're continuing in our efforts to bring in one or two players, but it's proving extremely difficult.

"Clubs are very reluctant to part company with their best players, although there's still time to do some business with the activity hopefully hotting up as the deadline – a week today – approaches."

In the outgoing department, Wolves' out-of-favour left back Matt Hill has joined QPR on loan for the rest of the season, rejoining on-loan Carl Ikeme and Nigel Quashie at Loftus Road.
