Tigers to land Pearson

Hull City are expected to complete a move for Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson at some point this week.

The Tigers are widely expected to name Pearson as their new manager and reports suggest he will be handed money to spend in the transfer market, although not on fees but on wages, despite Hull precarious financial position.

The 46-year-old is expected to be unveiled at the KC Stadium this week after apparently agreeing the move over the weekend.
