Hull City are pushing Tottenham to drop their price for Aaron Lennon.
The Daily Mail says manager Steve Bruce has already taken Michael Dawson, Jake Livermore and Tom Huddlestone from White Hart Lane and hopes they can help convince the player to follow that trio and move north.
However, the stumbling block is a £7million price tag and high wages.
Hull will look to stagger the payments but Tottenham also have interest from Stoke City and Everton also.
