Hull City snare Geovanni

Hull City have completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Geovanni, after he was released by Mark Hughes at Man City. The former Barcelona man will now link up with the Tigers this week.

Assistant manager Brian Horton told BBC Radio Humberside: "He's got a very good track record so I think he'll be an excellent signing for us.

"We've heard a lot about him and spoken to quite a few people, but we saw him ourselves so we know the player."
