Hull City to bid for Alou Diarra?

The Tigers boss Steve Bruce has reportedly been linked with a move for West Ham's Alou Diarra as an option to boost his midfield. 

32-year-old Diarra joined the Hammers in 2012, but he has only  three appearances for the London-based outfit and spent the second term of last season on loan with French Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Having allowed moves for Tom Cairney and Corry Evans from the KC Stadium to Championship club Blackburn Rovers this summer , Bruce is keen to have a midfield option on board which could give his team much more stability before the start of the new season, according to The People.
