Hull manager Phil Brown has confirmed an interest in Sunderland striker Stern John.
The Trinidad & Tobago international is likely to find himself out of the first-team picture at Sunderland next season as Roy Keane revamps his squad.
Michael Chopra has joined for £5million from Cardiff and Brown is keen to learn whether John will be surplus to requirements at the Stadium of Light.
Brown has confirmed he has been in contact with Keane, but insists John's availability was not part of the conversation.
However, should the former Birmingham and Coventry front-man become available this summer then the Tigers boss would consider making a move.
"I have not mentioned Stern John to Roy Keane, but I took him to Derby and he's a very good footballer," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail.
"If a player of Stern John's calibre was to become available, then yes we would be interested, but that wasn't the conversation I had with Roy Keane.
"You are always on the phone with other managers - people who you know and people who you don't know - but you're in contact to see who is becoming available.
"That's all it was, a call to see who is available because of the people he is bringing in." |
I don't know still about John, he has been in the Championship for some time now and i have always thought him to be fairly inconsistent and mediocre even at this level. Particularly during his time at Coventry.He has a good international record though. He may to a job if at Hull.
