Nottingham Forest defender Eric Lichaj’s move to Hull City continues to be stuck in something of a stalemate.

The American had already agreed personal terms with the Reds’ Championship rivals, leaving thrashing out a transfer fee as the last hurdle to overcome.

But reaching an agreement over that figure seems to be proving a sticking point.

It is understood the Tigers have made an offer for Lichaj, but with a deal yet to be done, it would appear to have fallen short of Forest’s valuation of the player. The Reds are believed to want in the region of £400,000 for the full-back.

Hull boss Nigel Adkins had last week confirmed his interest in the 29-year-old, but did so with a note of caution.

“There is an interest,” he said. “He’s under contract at Nottingham Forest and he’s got another year left on his contract.

“I’m not going to confirm anything because you never know what’s going to happen. You might think you’ve got a player signed and all of a sudden something happens at the last minute and it breaks down.”

Switching to the KCOM Stadium would end Lichaj’s five-year spell with Forest. He has made close to 200 appearances for the club and was named Player of the Year 12 months ago.

He fell down the pecking order at the end of last season, however, struggling to win back his place from Tendayi Darikwa following a red card against Burton Albion in February.

And with boss Aitor Karanka hoping to sign another right-back this summer, Lichaj’s time on Trentside is expected to come to an end.
