Skysports.com understands Hull striker Caleb Folan is set to sign a new deal at the Premier League new boys.

Folan is in line for a new contract as reward for helping the Tigers secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history.

The former Wigan and Chesterfield hit-man had a clause in his contract allowing him a new deal if Hull won promotion and now the club are ready to tie down Folan.

Folan's agent, Hayden Evans, confirmed talks were underway over a new deal and he was hopeful of a successful conclusion.

"Caleb is close to signing a new deal," Evans told skysports.com.

"He is entitled to a new deal because of a clause in his old contract.

"We have started dialogue and there is a willingness from both parties to do it.

"I hope we can get things sorted out very soon."
