Expected Hull City signing Morita 'dominates the engine room'

Gabe Tan, editor of ESPN Asia, says Hull City are getting "a really proficient central midfielder" in Hidemasa Morita. BBC Radio Humberside's Mike White understands a deal is in place to sign the 31-year-old free agent. Tan told BBC Radio Humberside: "He is really that typical central midfielder. He dominates that engine room. Very energetic, very tidy in distribution. "He has a lot of experience in a really quality league in Portugal. Overall, I think they are getting a really proficient central midfielder. "He's no nonsense in the way he goes about his business. "They're getting someone who will come in and play a role straight away. Maybe that is what Hull City are looking for - not a long-term project but a strong reinforcement right from the get-go."
