Hull could be priced out of move for Bendtner

Hull City manager Steve Bruce admits that the club are interested in Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner, but his team could be priced out of a transfer for the Denmark international.

Bendtner has previously worked with Bruce at both Birmingham and at Sunderland.


"Nicklas, I've had twice, and there's no question about his ability," Bruce told Sky Sports News. "It's obviously, when you're coming from a club like Arsenal, a) can we afford him? and b) would Nicklas want to come to us?


"So, all of those questions we have to ask ourselves and the big thing is the financial one. I think as a club a few years ago it got itself into a mess and, if it wasn't for the owners now in charge, then the club would still be in a mess.


"We have to be well balanced and afford what we can afford, and not send the club, if we don't succeed in what we want to do, into an abyss. We've got to be mindful of that. Nicklas Bendtner, without question, has got  huge talent, but he might just be too expensive."
