Hull City 'reject Sone Aluko approaches'

Hull City have reportedly fended off interest in attacker Sone Aluko on deadline day.

The 26-year-old has struggled for first-team football at the Tigers so far this season, making just five starts in the Championship, only one of which has come since September.

Sky Sports News reports that as many as four Championship clubs have registered an interest in taking the Nigeria international on loan, but all have been rejected by Steve Bruce.

The Hull boss is thought to be keen on keeping his squad together as his side go in search of automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The Tigers currently sit top of the Championship table having won their last six matches in all competitions.
