Hull City boss Steve Bruce rubbishes reports that the club has made an £8m offer for Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has denied reports that the club has made an £8m bid for Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher.

Black Cats manager Gus Poyet recently admitted that he would be willing to let the Scot leave the Stadium of Light if an appropriate offer is made for him.

Despite revealing that he is keen to boost his attacking options, Bruce has distanced himself from suggestions that Fletcher could be on his way to the KC Stadium.

"I woke up this morning and saw a story that we'd bid £8m," he told talkSPORT. "I just thought: 'Where on earth have they got that from?' I haven't got a clue where it's come from.

"It's no secret we want to improve up front. We've got a couple of irons in the fire and, if they come off, then it would be fantastic. It would give the squad a lift by adding a striker.

"I've said for years that you're only as good as your strikers. That's the hardest part of any side to fill. Anyone we bring in has to improve our team, though."

Fletcher has scored three goals in 18 games for Sunderland so far this season.
