for jeff :icon_winkSkysports.com can confirm Hull are set to hold talks with Juninho over a possible move to The KC stadium.
Hull are lining up an ambitious swoop for the former Middlesbrough hero as they look to signal their intent in the Championship under new owner Paul Duffen.
Juninho is looking for a new club after leaving Flamengo last month and he is considering a return to England.
The Brazilian's agent Jonathan Hassall confirmed Juninho was set to meet Hull to discuss the possibility of moving back to England.
"It is true that we are planning to meet Hull to have talks over a move," Hassall told skysports.com
"Juninho is expected to fly into the country in the next 48 hours and we will then meet with Hull.
"We will go to see what Hull have got to say and what they have on offer.
"Juninho is keen on a move back to England as his heart has always been in England."
Hull could face a fight to sign the World Cup winner with clubs in Brazil and Qatar also chasing the diminutive playmaker.
"Juninho has got offers from other clubs in Brazil as well as other clubs on the continent and we will wait and see what is the best for him," added Hassall

Was nick Barmby ever in the same team as him?
How old is he now?
One of the best individual performances i have ever seen against city when we played m'boro at filbo (97). Think they won 3-1 and the little fecker almost single handledly destroyed us. When he stepped on the pitch he looked like a kid in a mans game, but we couldnt get near him all afternoon.
So good was his efforts that it probaly cost boro the lge cup against us, because MON didnt forget and decided to use Pontus to man mark him for the two cup finals.
This one has to beat the Juninho one in terms of strangest if it goes through:

Teddy ready to join Colchester
Championship club Colchester are expected to announce the signing of former England international striker Teddy Sheringham on Wednesday.
The 41-year-old is surplus to requirements at West Ham but is keen to prolong his 23-year professional career.
The Championship side recently lost last season's top scorer Jamie Cureton to Norwich and had been in the market for a striker.
Ex-Manchester United and Tottenham star Sheringham would be the Us' third big signing in 24 hours after they twice broke their transfer record to capture Mark Yeates and Clive Platt.
Tottenham's Irish winger Yeates, 22, was first to arrive.
He spent a spell on loan at Layer Road two seasons ago and had temporary deals at Hull and Leicester in the last campaign.
Striker Platt soon followed for what the club will only say is a "six-figure sum".
Us chief executive Marie Partner told the club's official website: "These are the first two signings in what will be a very busy campaign in securing the club's squad for next season's push in the Championship.
"There is a great deal of exciting news to come."
The Yeates and Platt deals will be formally completed when clearance is received by the Football Association and Football League.
No, it was that they expect to be in the same league as the Norfolk outfit by the 2011/2012 seasoni swear i saw something on east midlands today about forest making an approach for sherringham?
