| Both Celtic and Hull have had undisclosed bids accepted by Nancy for Marc-Antoine Fortune. Tony Mowbray as reported earlier this week hopes that Fortune will accept the Celtic deal having worked with the Baggies manager last year. Mowbray said: "It's in the balance, it will happen in the next day or two. I'll either be sitting watching him shaking someone's hand and holding a shirt up somewhere at an English Premier league club or you will all come back here in a few days time and meet the guy yourself ."
Jan Venegoor of Hesselink and Paul Hartley have left the club after having not been offered new contracts, so Mowbray is looking to reinforce his squad. Tigers boss Phil Brown has given Fortune 27 a 48 hour deadline and has suggested he would move to other targets if no decision was made by then. It could all be down to Fortune's link with Mowbray and his assistant Peter Grant that could persuade the player either way. Or it could be down to the money and lure of the English Premier League.
