Wolves are set to sign Hull City winger Stephen Hunt for £3m this week and are closing in on a £2m deal for Senegalese midfielder Guirane N'Daw, who plays for Nantes.

Birmingham have abandoned efforts to sign Wigan winger Charles N'Zogbia but Blues are interested in Celtic's Aiden McGeady and Hull's Stephen Hunt, who is also a £3m target for Wolves, West Ham and West Brom.

Birmingham have joined Wolves, West Brom and Everton in the race for Hull's Republic of Ireland striker Stephen Hunt. The midfielder, who cost £3.5m from Reading last summer, has already been told he can leave the relegated Tigers.
