BREAKING NEWS: City land Fortune! By CI Reporter - 24/06/2009 01:05
It appears that Hull City have won the race ahead of a clutch of English and Scottish Premier League clubs to sign French striker Marc-Antoine Fortune... Sources close to City Independent believe Hull City have won the race to sign AS Nancy striker Marc-Antoine Fortune and the forward is set to complete a brand new deal with the Tigers within the next 24 hours. City had been facing stiff opposition for the centre forward from Fulham, Wolverhampton Wanderes, Glasgow Celtic and Portsmouth, but reports are now indicating that Phil Brown has captured the former West Bromwich Albion loanee and the striker will become Hull City's first signing of the summer. Fortune impressed last season in the Premier League when scoring 5 times for beleaguered West Bromwich Albion in 17 appearances, after making his debut on 17th January for the Baggies in a home match against Middlesbrough, which Fortune scored to record a 3-1 victory. Now, City Independent expect reports to break later today confirming Marc-Antoine Fortune will complete his switch to Hull City instead of the other interested parties by signing a 3 year deal worth £25,000 a week.
