King set for City medical

Jamaican international, King, has struggled to settle at the JJB and managed just one goal for the club, that coming against Blackburn Rovers.

Now the former Hornets striker is likely to join former Latics target Dean Windass in the Tigers armoury ahead of the new Premiership season.

King cost the Latics an initial £2 million from Watford, with a further £2 million due on appearances and success. Thus a deal of £3 million represents a superb profit on the player.

Meanwhile, Ryan Taylor is being linked with a move to Bruce's former side Birmingham City. The 22 year old full back is said to be the subject of a £750,000 enquiry from the Blues.
