Hull City line up Jordan Rhodes bid?

Hull City have reportedly earmarked Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes to replace Shane Long.

The Irishman joined Southampton last week for around £12m, and Tigers boss Steve Bruce is keen on Rovers' Scottish striker, according to The Mirror.

Bruce is ready to offer around £12m for Rhodes, with £8m upfront for the Championship forward and the rest in add-ons.

However, Rhodes only signed a new deal at Ewood Park last month.
