Hull City haven't dropped their pursuit of Bristol Rovers winger Alefe Santos.
The Hull Daily Mail says City's first bid for the Brazil-born star was flatly rejected, with reports in the south-west indicating Rovers are desperate to keep hold of the 19-year-old, despite their relegation from the Football League last season.
Whilst they remain bullish that the home-grown youngster won't leave the Memorial Stadium on the cheap, City won't be held to ransom.
The Tigers are keen to recruit Santos to add him to their under-21s development squad, but their valuation is some distance away from that of the Pirates.
