Report: Hull City planning loan move for Nick Powell

Hull City have reportedly joined the race to sign Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell on loan before the transfer deadline.

It was reported this week that Powell has once again been made available by United after an unsuccessful spell at Leicester City earlier in the season.

According to The Mirror, Hull boss Steve Bruce is interested in a deal to sign the 20-year-old for the remainder of the campaign as he looks to give his squad a boost in the fight to stay in the Premier League.

Bruce is believed to be keen to recruit before Monday's deadline, but the club are being forced to focus on loans after spending close to £40m in the summer.

Powell made just three appearances while on loan at Leicester.
