Hull City boss Steve Bruce pleased with transfer business

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has expressed his delight at the signings that the club made on the final day of the summer transfer window.

The Tigers brought in Hatem Ben Arfa, Abel Hernandez, Gaston Ramirez and Mohamed Diame on transfer deadline day for a combined total believed to be in the region of £36m.

"On paper there are some really, really good signings we've made today," Bruce told Sky Sports News.

"I think what summed the day up was when I rang Ben Arfa to see where he was and he was stuck in York, and you're thinking 'What's he doing in York?' That was a bit fraught, but overall we're delighted with what we've done.

"We've managed to bring what seems like four players on the day, but two or three of them have had a week's work gone into them. We got what we wanted."

Hull return to action against West Ham United on September 15.
