Arsenal flop Bendtner lined up for Prem new-boys Hull City
Posted Saturday, July 13, 2013 by The Sun
NICKLAS BENDTNER is being lined up for a move to Premier League new-boys Hull and a reunion with Tigers boss Steve Bruce.
The Danish striker, 25, is back on the market following the collapse of his £3million switch from Arsenal to Eintracht Frankfurt.
That has left the way clear for Bruce to finally strengthen his newly promoted squad, with a player he knows from season-long loans at Birmingham and Sunderland.
He has been priced out of moves for Celtic’s Gary Hooper and Aston Villa’s Darren Bent and saw a £5m deal for Charlie Austin collapse when the Burnley striker failed a medical.
Bendtner, who was on loan at Juventus last season, wants regular first-team football.
And Bruce is ready to do a deal over wages because Hull can land him for £2m less than the fee they agreed for Austin.
Bruce also hopes to tie up the signing of ex-Newcastle keeper Steve Harper, 38.
