Hull City manager Phil Brown has made an enquiry to Manchester City about the availability of Felipe Caicedo.

The Ecuador international moved to Eastlands in January 2008 but struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.

He fell further down the pecking order as a host of big-name strikers arrived and was loaned out to Sporting last summer.

Caicedo could be available this month if his stint in Portugal is cut short and Brown admitted recently he might consider a move.

The Tigers boss has now made his interest official, although he faces competition for Caicedo's signature from Spanish club Malaga - who have already opened talks to sign him.

Brown is now biding his time to see whether City are prepared to do business.

"We have expressed an interest in Felipe Caicedo to Manchester City and are awaiting a response," said Brown.
