Lee Clark: Curtis Davies to Hull City "a formality"

Birmingham manager Lee Clark has confirmed that captain Curtis Davies will undergo a medical at Hull City in the coming days ahead of a transfer to the newly-promoted club.

Tigers manager Steve Bruce is keen to add to his squad following their return to the Premier League and has moved for the 28-year-old centre-back, who once cost Aston Villa £9m.

The fee that will see him switch Birmingham for the KC Stadium is a reported £2.25m, and Clark has revealed that he expects a deal to be completed without a hitch.

"We've agreed terms with Hull City," Clark told Sky Sports News. "Obviously Curtis and his advisor will be trying to do the same on a personal level.

"Then, he will be going through a medical and that will probably be a formality because he played numerous games for us last season and has got a good appearance record over the past year."

Davies made 41 Championship appearances for the Blues last season, scoring six goals.
