Mo show to fire Tigers

JARVIS CAN GO WEST

- By Tom Hopkinson

HULL boss Steve Bruce has joined the race to take Mo Salah on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season.

Italians Roma and Turkish side Besiktas are also keen on the 22-year-old Egyptian winger.

But Bruce has the backing of Egypt-born owner Assem Allam as he tries to make the additions to his squad that will help them retain their Premier League status.

Salah, who moved to Stamford Bridge from Swiss side Basel a year ago, has struggled to get a regular run.

Bruce will press hard to land the player this month, although Salah (right) still has to decide whether he wants to stay and gain Premier League experience or spend six months in Italy or Turkey.

And the Tigers have joined the race for Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon.

With West Brom and Stoke also keen on the 27-year-old former England star, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is holding out for close to £10million.

Bruce values Lennon closer to the £6m mark. TONY PULIS is on the lookout for a pacy wideboy this month – with WEST HAM’S Matt Jarvis on his shortlist. The 28-year-old, who still has two-and-a-half years to run on his Upton Park deal, has made only six appearance­s for the Irons this season and will be allowed to leave if the right offer comes in.

WEST BROM boss Pulis is, however, set to miss out on BLACKBURN striker Rudy Gestede, 26, with CRYSTAL PALACE in pole position to sign the 12-goal Frenchman. and are chasing AZ Alkmaar midfielder Nemanja Gudelj.

The Serbian, 23, is available for around £2.5m.
