Hull City transfer talk: Nick Powell from Manchester United after Wigan loan, Nicklas Bendtner to Eintracht Frankfurt, Tigers arrive in Portugal, Fathi at Arsenal

Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.Like HDM Sport on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. HULL City are considering a move for young Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell, according to reports. The highly-rated 20-year-old caught Steve Bruce's attention last season and a move was rumoured in the January transfer window but came to nothing. Then Man Utd boss David Moyes was said to be ready to let Powell go to City to step up a level after a very successful loan spell at Championship side Wigan. Swansea City were also said to be tracking the attack minded midfielder. Steve Bruce already had limit of two Premier loan players at the time, Jake Livermore from Tottenham and Danny Graham from Sunderland. Former Crewe Alexandra player Powell has only started twice for Man Utd but played 42 times on loan at Wigan last season scoring 12 times, including three times in the Europa League. On the face of it, it looks a more likely prospect than Jack Rodwell, linked to City yesterday.Someone finally offers Bendtner a contract It looks increasingly unlikely the striker most linked to Hull City in the last year will pitch up at the KC. Seems Eintracht Frankfurt's on-off courting of Nicklas Bendtner is about to pay off after the German club offered him a contract. They have almost done this before, at the same time complaining about his wage demands, which seemed a little odd when trying to sign him. This time the club's executive chairman Heribert Bruchhagen confirmed the firm offer to German paper Bild: "We have offered a contract to Nicklas Bendtner and we will have a good team for the new season in Bundesliga." Bendtner has been linked to a host of clubs since finally being released from Arsenal including City, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Leicester City. Earlier in the week, Aston Villa were said to "be in talks" with the Denmark international.City in the sun The Tigers have arrived in Portugal for pre-season training and already Steve Bruce has them involved in training sessions ahead of the new season. The club has been sending pictures back from the pre-season camp. Our Philip Buckingham will be joining the squad this weekend, the only media in the camp, so don't miss his reports all next week in the Mail

Arsenal in for ex-Tiger? Fathi chance Is Ahmed Fathi really going to Arsenal? The Hull City reject - although everyone always said he was very talented - has a trial with Arsenal according to his parent club Al Ahly in Egypt who said the move was "in preparation for signing". But all the talk so far is from Egypt and Arsenal have said nothing about the link. Steve Bruce just couldn't see the potential, although said he was a nice bloke, while even fellow Egyptian and Tiger Ahmed Elmohamady admitted Fathi struggled to show off his skills in a central role. "He did not take his chance in the plan that Steve had for him," Elmo told the Hull Daily Mail. "But he left a wonderful impression here in Hull and everyone knows that his technical and physical capabilities are enormous." Fathi starting alongside Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil next season? They'll need to be pretty enormous for that, surely.Big Nick on a winner We might have found a reason why Hull City cult hero and outcast Nick Proschwitz has stayed behind to train with the Hull City youngsters at Bishop Burton while the senior squad headed off to Portugal for pre-season training. Striker Proschwitz still has a year on his contract but was the only senior player not to be asked to head out with the team to join Steve Bruce. But it seems big Nick is a fan of all things equestrian and being at Bishop Burton, home of the farming and field college, may suit him as he ponders his future. Nick is in a consortium with fellow German strikers Mike Hanke and Torsten Oehrl who own race horses. The three of them recently had a winner at a big meeting in Cologne. The trio call themselves Energy Racing Club. Which sounds like a club Steve Bruce would be happy to let Nick sign for.
