Hull boss Steve Bruce wants to use the £12m the club received from Southampton for striker Shane Long to buy three new players. The Tigers have been linked with Manchester United's Danny Welbeck and former Tottenham playmaker Rafael van der Vaart, who is with Hamburg.
"We will invest that money into the squad to make it bigger and better, and we'll be looking to find a replacement," said Bruce.
"I'd like at least another three players to come through the door. The money that we got for Shane will allow us to do that."
