Steve Finnan could make Premier League return with Hull

Hull City boss Phil Brown is in talks with Steve Finnan about a return to the Premier League in a cut-price £1million deal from Spanish side Espanyol.
The former Liverpool defender could sign for the Tigers by the end of the week after being offered a stunning £25,000-aweek deal, although he has asked for time to give an answer.
Finnan was wanted by Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp but he was looking at a loan deal and Espanyol refused. Redknapp was concerned about Finnan's injury record and is also considering other targets for one of his many problem positions.
Espanyol would like to recoup the £1.5m transfer fee they paid Liverpool, but Hull have made the best offer and are keen to do business now.
Brown wants Finnan as he is finding it hard to agree a fee with Sunderland for Paul McShane, who is on loan with the Tigers.
