At Hull, he scored his first goal in English football. Amoo is yet to score for Liverpool but is thought of highly by the club’s academy staff. He played for the Reds in a Champions League qualifying tie last year against Macedonian outfit FK Rabotnicki Skopje.

Wolves nearing Hunt capture
Wolves manager Mick Mccarthy is set to take his summer spending to over £17m with the signing of Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt. A £3million deal has been agreed for the versatile Republic of Ireland international with Hull City. Hunt represented Hull City for just a solitary season after transferring from Reading. He made 27 appearances and scored 6 times including an opening day goal at Stamford Bridge. But a foot injury would rule him out for the start of the 2010-11 season.
Hunt would become McCarthy’s fourth signing of the close season after Jelle Van Damme, Steven Fletcher and Steven Mouyokolo.
