Steve Bruce hails Mohamed Diame impact

Steve Bruce says that he is "delighted" to have brought Mohamed Diame to the club after seeing the midfielder score his third goal in four games since joining.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has expressed his hope that Mohamed Diame can maintain his goalscoring start to life at the KC Stadium.

The 27-year-old midfielder, who joined the Tigers from West Ham United for a fee of £3.5m in the summer, scored his third goal in four games in his side's 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace this afternoon.

"We are delighted to have brought him in," ESPN quotes Bruce as saying. "He's got a right foot, a left foot and now he's scored with a header. He's not quite the complete midfielder but he's big, he's strong, he's athletic, he handles the ball well, he's good in the air, he's got two good feet.

"He's had a really good start so let's hope it continues. He's come here and he's enjoying his football, why wouldn't you when you've got three goals in four games for a new club?"

Today's win lifts Hull up up to eighth place in the Premier League table.
