Hull after Yeovil's Williams

Hull City are understood to have made a 'substantial bid' for Yeovil's star winger Gavin Williams.

A source close to City told the Hull Mail that the 'substantial' offer was made to the Glovers yesterday but 'immediately turned down'.

The offer is believed to be about £75,000. Yeovil paid Hereford United around £25,000 for Williams. It is understood that Williams has handed in a transfer request but that has yet to be confirmed by the Huish Park club.

The former Hereford favourite has played 80 games for the Glovers after signing in May 2002, scoring 15 goals. The Hull site reported: "Welshman Williams would certainly prove a useful addition to the squad and can play anywhere across the midfield.

"His favoured position is wide on the right but he has also switched flanks and played in the hole behind two strikers to good effect this season. After eight yellows and one red last season the former Hereford player can certainly look after himself and has an an excellent first touch and bags of technical ability.

"Hull manager Peter Taylor is determined to add depth to his wide options and sees Williams as the perfect addition. The youngster certainly finished the season on a high - scoring an 88th-minute winner in the last game of the season as the Glovers picked up a 3-2 triumph at Lincoln."

It is thought highly unlikely that any transfer would benefit the Bulls as Williams was out of contract when he moved from Edgar Street.
