Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 13th July: Part One

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, 25, is being lined up for a move to Premier League new boys Hull and a reunion with Tigers boss Steve Bruce after his move to Eintracht Frankfurt collapsed.

What’s the story? Hull really do need to add a striker and Bendtner seems to have run out of options.

Does it make sense? It could do, but as ever with Hull, they need to add players to create chances too. We don’t really know what the Dane is quite capable of but could get 10-12 goals if supplied well. He’ll miss a lot of chances but can equally score a hat-trick in any game.

Is the price right? Seems to have dropped to £4m which Hull can pay, but he won’t take a cut from his £50k a week wage which they probably can’t pay.

Will it happen? 4/10 – If it was a loan it’d be higher but Arsenal want to sell. Do Hull have the money and does he see himself as too big a fish?
