Hull City boss Steve Bruce insists they have Hatem Ben Arfa for the season.

It was reported Ben Arfa could be recalled by parent club Newcastle United should Alan Pardew lose his job.

But Bruce revealed: "I've heard all the other nonsense as well, but it's a normal loan deal like everyone else has got, no breaks, nothing at all."
