Nikica Jelavic: 'Steve Bruce convinced me over Hull City move'

Nikica Jelavic concedes that Steve Bruce played a big role in convincing him to move to Hull City.

Nikica Jelavic has revealed that manager Steve Bruce played a key role in helping to convince him that Hull City was the right club for the Croatian to join.

Hull confirmed on Friday that they had agreed a fee with Everton for the 28-year-old's services.

Even though the deal is yet to be fully concluded, Jelavic has praised his new boss for the vision that he sold to him.

"Steve Bruce called me and told me that he wants me in his team as a leading attacker. He asked me if I'm ready to move, then talked briefly about the club, his coaching philosophy and about the club's goals," he told Jutarnji.

"He was very confident during that conversation and after that I agreed to move to Hull City. The club suits me and I'm happy that the clubs have found an agreement for my transfer."

Jelavic arrived at Goodison Park two years ago from Rangers.
