Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.
Livermore may cost more than Tigers hoped
After coughing up £14m to land Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long last week, The Mirror are reporting Hull City’s transfer spending spree may not be over.
They are suggesting boss Steve Bruce is still wanting to turn Jake Livermore’s loan deal into a permanent switch.
Apparently the Tigers are willing to stump up £6m for the midfield man who has impressed since arriving at the KC on loan in the summer.
However, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has slapped a £10m price tag on the player frozen out of the first-team picture by former manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Mclean takes massive pay cut in departure from Hull City
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Aaron Mclean has taken a pay cut of well over half his cash at the KC Stadium to return to League One side Bradford City.
The striker had been on the Bantam’s radar for a while, though any talk of interest in the last transfer window was fanciful.
Championship clubs, thought to be Doncaster and Barnsley, showed an interest but the 30-year-old wanted a challenge to get his teeth into. Not to mention an assurance that he would be back in the old routine – playing up front again.
Mclean told The Telegraph and Argus: “I had to think about it because I had to work so hard to get to the Premier League. It was a difficult decision to work out where I would go next.
“This move had to be the right move, both footballing-wise and for my career. I didn’t want to go to a Championship team and be part of a squad or playing out of position again.
“I remember coming here with Peterborough and thinking ‘wow, how many people’.
“I had a look around again on Wednesday and it was even bigger than I remembered. The stadium is huge.
“I can imagine when they’ve got a full house, it’s really rocking.
“The chairman said if you work hard for these fans, they’ll really get behind you. That suits me down to the ground because that’s all I’ve done my whole career – that excites me.”
