Hull have agreed a fee for Norwich player Robert Snodgrass, even though Alan Pardew tried to sign the winger.

Press Association Sport understands Tigers boss Steve Bruce has agreed to match the club-record fee that brought former loanee Jake Livermore to the club on Wednesday, with an initial £7million rising to £8million.

Scotland international Snodgrass, 26, scored seven times in 34 games for the Canaries last season but could not prevent their relegation from the Barclays Premier League.

Sunderland and Newcastle had been linked with a move for the versatile Snodgrass, but were reportedly unwilling to match the fee offered by Hull.
