Hull boss Phil Brown has confirmed the club have made a "firm
and substantial bid'' for Fulham striker Bobby Zamora.

A rare sight: Zamora scoring last season.
The Tigers have been unsuccessful in their quest to sign a
striker this summer with Marc Antoine Fortune opting to join Celtic
and Fraizer Campbell still stalling on a move to the KC Stadium
despite the club agreeing a fee with Manchester United early last
month.
Brown has since turned his attention to Zamora, who scored twice
for the Cottagers in 32 league games last season.
"We've been active with regards to Fulham,'' Brown told the
Hull Daily Mail. "There is a firm and substantial bid on
the table for Bobby Zamora. I'm waiting to hear from my chairman
for the next step.
"There are substantial bids on the table for four players, one
being Fraizer Campbell and the other being Bobby Zamora.''
Hull retained their Premier League status on the final day of
last season after a dramatic slump in form after Christmas.
But Brown is confident the club will do better next term. "There
are a number of players out there that we want to bring to this
football club,'' he added. "We're pitching it high this year rather
than being content with staying in the division like last
season.
"Hopefully the players that come through the door will reflect
that. There are a number of deals ongoing but am I anxious or
nervous that people have not arrived yet? No I'm not.
"There's a lot of hard work going on in the background and it's
constant effort going in to getting stronger individuals to improve
the team.''
