Nigeria legend Okocha set to join Hull
Hull will hold a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to announce the signing of former Bolton star Jay-Jay Okocha.
The Nigerian midfielder, 34, has been without a club since leaving Qatar SC and will once again work under Phil Brown, who was the assistant manager at Bolton, where he had a successful four-year spell before leaving last year.
Tigers boss Brown feels Okocha's arrival will give his side the additional creative flair they are lacking.
Brown, whose side lost 2-1 at Blackpool on Monday night, said: 'We have had talks and there will be a press conference at Hull with Jay-Jay.
'He is the sort of player who will give us the creativity we need in midfield. Blackpool had that sort of player in the lad Wes Hoolahan and that was the difference between the sides. He could stand on the ball and make things happen.'
