King to seal Hull move

Marlon King joined Wigan last January but failed to make an impact, scoring one goal a penalty, during his five months at the club.

In the summer he joined Hull City on a season long loan but it is believed that he will make the move permenant in the next transfer window.

Wigan are believed to want to recoup the money that they paid for him and a fee of between two and three million is expected, which will go towards bringing in replacements to the threadbare squad.
