Hull City have third bid rejected for Jordan Rhodes

Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes is still being tracked by Hull City manager Steve Bruce. The Tigers are seeking a replacement for Shane Long, who joined Southampton two weeks ago.

Rhodes has been in inspirational form at the Championship club in recent seasons and is known to be looking for a move to the Premier League before the transfer window closes. Despite good form, Rhodes has only so far attracted the interest of Hull City, who had bids of £8 million and £9 million turned down.

Yesterday Hull City made a third bid of £10 million which has also been rejected by Rovers. It is understood that Blackburn want to keep Rhodes for the 2014/15 season. Blackburn's head of communciation Alan Myers last week told reporters: "We have recently received two official bids for the services of Jordan Rhodes from Hull City FC, both have been respectfully and categorically rejected."
