Abdoulaye Meite is a target for Hull City

Hull City have confirmed to BBC Look North they are in talks to sign Bolton Wanderers defender Abdoulaye Meite.

The Tigers are understood to be facing competition from West Bromwich Albion for the player, who is valued at more than �2m.

City chairman Paul Duffen has also told BBC Look North the club hope to have another player signed soon.

But he declined to speculate on the identity of the player in question as the club look to strengthen the side.
