Sources at Hull City are reported to have confirmed that Jimmy Bullard has completed his loan move to the Blues, as revealed by TWTD last night. Bullard was at Portman Road for talks yesterday and will be with Town until the end of the season.
The 32-year-old’s move is expected to be officially announced later today ahead of a Portman Road press conference.
According to reports in East Yorkshire, Town will be paying only £10,000-a-week of the midfielder’s £45,000-a-week wage.
Bullard will become Paul Jewell’s first Blues signing, while the new Town boss’s first permanent addition to his squad is likely to be either Luton’s Andy Drury or Swindon’s Charlie Austin with TWTD understanding that the Blues have emerged as surprise late favourites for the 21-year-old’s signature.
Drury, 27, had been expected to sign earlier in the week but there is understood to be an issue regarding the payment of the £150,000 fee. Luton want the cash up front, while the Blues are believed to have offered it over three instalments of £50,000.
Coventry and Sheffield United have also been linked with the former Stevenage man.
