BLACKBURN Rovers are still interested in Hull City midfielder Stephen Quinn– but are likely to have to agree to a loan-to-buy offer.
It's not the first time Quinn has been linked with a move to the Championship side.
However, today's Sun claims the Republic of Ireland midfielder, out of contract at the end of the season, would be interested in a deal.
There is still a sour taste left by the Jordan Rhodes on-off summer transfer saga between the two clubs.
However, that is thought unlikely to prevent negotiations – providing Rovers' boss Gary Bowyer agrees to a loan-to-buy offer that would see Quinn join former Tigers Tom Cairney and Corry Evans at Ewood Park.FIFA 15 faith in Hull City golden boys
HULL City have a team studded with gold according to the latest incarnation of the hugely popular FIFA 15 video game.
The console game, one of the world's most popular and loved by fans and players, features the latest Hull City squad including its newest signings.
Last year City had just two gold ranked players in the FIFA game, Tom Huddlestone and Maynor Figueroa.
But after his summer signing spree, Steve Bruce's team now boasts an impressive five gold players.
They are led by defender Michael Dawson with a skill score of 79. New midfielders Hatem Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez share second with 78. And Huddlestone, a fan of the game, and club skipper Curtis Davies come in joint fourth with 75.
The rest of the squad hold scores in the 70s and 60s with future City stars like Max Clark bringing up the rear with scores in the high 50s.
The team's average rating is 69, one below the Premier average of 70, placing them as the league's twelfth strongest team. Highest according to the FIFA game are Chelsea with 76 and weakest are Leicester with 65.
The game places Manchester United strikers Radamel Falcao and Robin Van Persie along with Chelsea's Eden Hazard as the top three Premier League players each with a score of 88.
FIFA 15 is expected to be one of the world's most successful video games thanks to a surge of interest in football in America after the World Cup.Oxley thriving at Hibs
HULL City keeper Mark Oxley says he's loving his adventure at Hibernian.
The 24-year-old has been sent out on loan to the Scottish side in a bid to gain valuable experience.
Playing in the SPFL Championship means travelling to venues like Indodrill Stadium, Palmerston and Central Park one week, then running out the next at Ibrox, Tynecastle or Easter Road.
Oxley told the Edinburgh Evening News: "That's what makes it what it is.
"I enjoy the small grounds as much as Ibrox and playing at Hearts. It's part and parcel of football. The tighter grounds where you can hear what every fan is saying, I love that as much as the big grounds, so I'm loving it here. It's a bit of an adventure.
"If you are in the English Premier League you are going to be at big grounds every week, and I have played in grounds like that when I was out on loan before, such as Anfield, but then you can be at Alloa and it's like playing at Crawley when there's 2,000 there, so it's not like I haven't played in small grounds before."Bookies reflect City slip down Premier
Hull City's slip down the table has prompted the bookies to have another look at the odds on Premier League survival.
City, at the start of the season a long shot for relegation, have now drifted in to 4/1 to go down, the same odds as being quoted for many pundits' favourites Newcastle United and Sunderland.
Burnley are still odds on to go down followed by QPR, West Brom and Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, City are evens to take three points from Crystal Palace next Saturday with Palace 11/4 among most bookies.
