Hull City set to make new bid for Leicester City's Kasper Schmeichel

Hull are expected to make one last attempt to sign Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

According to sources in Hull, the Tigers have not given up on their target, even though they have lined up a deal to sign former Rangers keeper Allan McGregor as an alternative.

Bids of £1.25million and £1.75m, plus a reported third bid of £2m plus a player, believed to be Jack Hobbs, have been rejected as City have shown no desire to part with the highly-rated Denmark international.

Hull are expected to make one last bid for the 26-year-old, with Hobbs expected to be part of that offer.

The Premier League new boys know City boss Nigel Pearson is looking to strengthen his back-four.

He has twice signed Hobbs, for Leicester and then for Hull, even making him the captain at the KC Stadium.

Schmeichel has one year left on his contract and if he indicates he wants to leave, then City may decide to deal.

City will visit League Two side Wycombe, in the Capital One Cup, for the first-ever time in the week commencing August 5.

City have only faced the Chairboys once before – in the 2001 FA Cup quarter-final clash that produced one of the greatest cup shocks when Roy Essandoh's last-minute winner knocked out Premier League City.

City then went on a club record run of nine straight defeats after that loss.
