Hull City seem poised to sign Crystal Palace teenager Malcolm Ebiowei with talks taking place in the next '48 hours', according to the Championship side's vice-chairman Tan Kesler.
With the January transfer window now open, the future of Ebiowei can be resolved after a quiet first six months with Crystal Palace following his move from Derby County, who were relegated to League One.
And it seems a reunion with Liam Rosenior, who worked with the 19-year-old at Pride Park, is about to take place with the once-linked Manchester United target about to make the switch to the Tigers on loan for the rest of the season.
