Stoke close in on promising Hull left-back Josh Tymon with fee to be decided by tribunal
MARK HUGHES is closing in on Hull City left-back Josh Tymon – the kid who earns £160-a-week playing in the Premier League!
The Hull-born teenager, who turned 18 last month, has never signed a pro contract for his hometown club despite making 12 senior appearances for the Tigers over the last 18 months.

Now Stoke are ready to move for the teenager, who played in every game as England lifted the Toulon International Tournament last week following a penalty shoot-out win over Ivory Coast in the final.
Tymon has been with Hull since he was 12 and Stoke would have to compensate the Tigers for their loss. But the Potters are willing to go to a tribunal if necessary to land the youngster who has been on their radar for some time.
Former Man City boss Hughes is looking to bolster his squad after a season of unrest amongst supporters.
