Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic has told BBC Radio Humberside the Tigers are close to completing a deal for Olympiacos goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
"I can say 95% [done]," said Jakirovic. "We have agreed everything so we have to see.
"He is very happy that he will join us. He's a very good lad, professional and played for his national team Greece for a while.

"Everything is good. Of course he is happy, he is going to be playing in the Premier League."
On why there's the 5% of uncertainty over 23-year-old Tzolakis, Jakirovic added: "Because you never know when the player has a medical. When he has signed the contract, he is then your player. That's the 5%."
