Alzate, recently released by Brighton, expected to sign with Hull this week

Hull City is the frontrunner to sign the Colombian player as a free agent, with negotiations currently underway.

Per The Argus, Alzate was never in contention to earn a new deal at Brighton.

He had spent the past two seasons on loan at Standard Liege, after failing to impress in England.

But he may get a chance to stay in the country and try his luck in the Championship.

Alzate will be hoping to use this international break to get up to speed before the league resumes
