Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.Are you going to sign for City, Ayew? Tigers fans may be interested in the latest striker to be linked with City - just look at that hairdo for a start. Steve Bruce's side are interested in a £3.5million January deal for Marseillestriker Jordan Ayew, according to the Daily Mail. The 22-year-old has scored just twice in 19 games for the French club, but Bruce wants to sign the Ghanaian when the transfer window opens. Premier League rivals Stoke and Everton have also been linked with Ayew, although they both favour a loan deal for the frontman, who is on course to secure a spot in Ghana's World Cup squad.Bruce may have to wait for Ameobi Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph are reporting that City will wait to see if Newcastle offer Shola Ameobi a new contract before deciding whether to make a move for the Nigerian. The paper say Bruce does not expect to sign him next month as he does not believe Newcastle will consider letting him go midway through the season when he is in such good form. Instead, it is understood Bruce will wait until the summer in the hope that Hull can sign him on a Bosman-style free transfer.Morley lives in memory at KC The Tigers are to hold Ebenezer Morley Day on Saturday in recognition of Hull's proud association with the Founding Father of football. Hull-born Morley was the man who, 150 years ago, led the group of men that founded The FA and penned the organisation's first laws of the game. His legacy has been commemorated across this year through the FA's 150th anniversary celebrations. Ebenezer Morley Day will coincide with the visit of Stoke City, and the match comes five days before the FA commemorates exactly a century and a half since its first-ever FA fixture on 19 December 1863. City intend to provide a permanent reminder of Morley's legacy at the KC, as well as using the club's programme and stadium screens to help tell Morley's story. Players will also wear special T-shirts bearing Morley's name during the warm-up.Chairman of Arts Council finds City chants funny And finally, the Hull Daily Mail's very own columnist Ian Midgely explains why Hull City fans are the most cultured. In his column today, Midgely writes: "After the ingenious chant of 'Come for the culture, you've only come for the culture' to some bemused Crystal Palace fans the other week, the even better 'City of culture, we know what we are,' at Swansea on Monday was top notch. "Way to rub it in. I know the mirth-tinged chant to the Palace faithful managed to make it way around the corridors of power down south too. I talked to Sir Peter Bazalgette, chairman of the Arts Council and inventor of Deal Or No Deal no less, this week and even he had heard of it and found it highly amusing. "Now, if we can only engineer a way to play both Dundee and Leicester in the next four years, our gloating tour of the UK will be complete." Check out Ian Midgely's column on page 14 of today's Hull Daily Mail.
