Hull City hope to conclude their first signing of the transfer window inside the next 24 hours after agreeing a deal to land Bournemouth winger Marc Pugh.

The 31-year-old is undergoing a medical with the Tigers today and, barring any complications, will join City’s push for promotion to the Premier League on loan for the rest of the season.

Head coach Nigel Adkins has made it clear he wants to sign three new players ahead of the deadline next week, including a winger that would add cover and competition for star men Kamil Grosicki and Jarrod Bowen.

Pugh has been told he is allowed to leave Bournemouth this month after only featuring in Carabao Cup and FA Cup ties and City have offered the chance for a fresh start in East Yorkshire.

The experienced winger has been with the Cherries since 2010, racking up over 300 appearances and winning promotions out of League One and the Championship.

Pugh has not played in the Premier League since last May but scored when playing the full 90 minutes in Bournemouth’s FA Cup third round defeat at home to Brighton two weeks ago.

Having started out his career with Burnley, Pugh has also enjoyed spells at Bury, Shrewsbury and Hereford.

Adkins will remain in the market for a new defender ahead of Saturday’s trip to Blackburn Rovers and is also searching for a centre-forward to replace Will Keane, who joined Ipswich on loan this month.
