Birmingham chase Stephen Hunt

Birmingham City are ready to offer a huge £6.5 million for Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt. It is understood that Hull boss Phil Brown is ready to sell the midfielder who has shown great form again this year.

Hunt is regarded by many to be one of the most underrated players in the Premiership.

A series of excellent performances have seen a wide range of interest, and Alex McLeish is the first club ready to make an offer.

Sunderland are also monitoring the situation.
