UPDATED:Hull City have made two offers for Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes, the Mail understands.
An initial bid of £8m was turned down by Rovers, but the Tigers have since returned with an improved offer, believed to be in the region of £10m.
Rovers manager Gary Bowyer confirmed today an inquiry had been received for the 24-year-old hitman and would now be considered by owners the Rao family.
Bowyer told BBC Radio Lancashire: "There has been an inquiry which has been taken to the board and the owners. That's as much as I know."
Rhodes, the nephew of City assistant manager Steve Agnew, has scored 52 goals in 90 games for Blackburn.
The Tigers are likely to have to match or better the £8m fee Rovers paid Huddersfield for Rhodes in 2012.
City were heavily linked with Rhodes last summer, but are understood to have been put off by his £45,000-a-week wage demands.
Meanwhile, Rotherham United manager Steve Evans has dismissed a report in The Sun suggesting City are attempting to sign Ben Pringle.
Speaking to Radio Sheffield, Evans said: "This is just a wrong, stupid and ridiculous story which must have been put out by agents.
"If (he was interested) Steve Bruce would have phoned me and told me. So I think Brucey has had a chuckle over his cornflakes this morning."
