Hull City: In cloud cuckoo land

Last updated : 18 August 2017 By Michael Morris

Neil Warnock has dismissed news of a £10m offer from Hull City for Kenneth Zohore as nonsense.

The boss says Zohore is going nowhere.

"We’ve not had an offer, I don’t know where it’s come from. I think Hull are probably trying to pacify their own fans by saying things like that. I’d like to see the offer they’ve made.

"Are they in cloud cuckoo land or what? Do they think Ken is going to Hull City when he’s playing as well as he is? If he’s going to go anywhere it would be to the Premier League.

"So I’m disappointed Hull have put that out and we haven’t had an offer - and we wouldn’t have even looked at it if it had come from Hull City."

And is Omar Bogle a replacement for Ken? No, he's support

"We were pleased to get him in, said Warnock."

"We’ve looked at the squad, and for example if Ken is injured or out and with just Wardy, we’ve nothing different to change.

"For a long season we were looking to add another striker to supplement what we’ve got.

"I’ve seen the figures - it’s £700,000 we’ve paid which I’m pleased with that and is good investment at his age, with loads of hunger and something to prove and he’s not too impatient about not being a regular at the moment because he won’t be."
