Phil Brown has hinted that his first signing of the January transfer window isn't far away from being completed following talks with top flight clubs both at home and abroad.

But Brown has dismissed speculation linking the Tigers with West Ham United striker Luis Boa Morte.

"We've had contact with other clubs, Premier League clubs both at home and abroad," said Brown.

"There's nothing definite at this moment in time, but there may be something in the near future.

"Speculation will follow us throughout this month and Luis (Boa Morte) is just another one in the line of players we're supposedly interested in. As far as we're concerned, there's nothing in it."

The City boss also revealed that Kamil Zayatte is close to signing a permanent deal with the Club while Michael Turner is set to put pen to paper on an improved deal.

"We've agreed a transfer fee for Kamil with Young Boys Of Berne in Switzerland and we just need to sit down and tie up a few loose ends with regards to personal terms. We're looking at a couple of years after this (in terms of contract length).

"He has been outstanding, hence the reason why we want to sign him on a permanent basis. The deal was originally a loan agreement with the option to buy this month.

"That meant there was a point to prove both from the player's point of view and Hull City's point of view.

"He likes what he's seen in terms of the ambition of the football club and what he has seen in the first half of the season. Consequently, we don't expect any kind of last minute hitches or snags with regards to personal terms.

"I spoke with Michael Turner's agent at length yesterday, although an article in the local newspaper did us no favours with some guess work about personal terms.

"But we're very close to signing Michael on an extension to his current contract. That will be a two-year extension to take him to 2013. I'll be very pleased when Michael does put pen to paper."
