More on Niasse...
New Hull manager Marco Silva has just been speaking ahead of the Tigers' EFL Cup semi final against Manchester United tomorrow night. He said he would not comment on the rumours linking Oumar Niasse with a move to the KCOM Stadium until something was confirmed.
Jose Fonte latest
Southampton manager Claude Puel has spoken about his captain after Fonte handed in a transfer request last week: "José won't participate for this game. We will see for the next game."
Reports suggest that Premier League champions Leicester City have knocked back a £9m bid from Crystal Palace for defender Jeffrey Schlupp.
The Ghanaian has made only three starts for the Foxes this season and has subsequently emerged as a target for Sam Allardyce's Eagles.
Schlupp was subject to numerous bids from West Brom during the summer but the side were unsuccessful in their pursuit.
Are Leicester holding out for more or does manager Claudio Ranieri believe that the 24-year-old still has a future at the King Power?
After handing in a transfer request, Southampton captain Jose Fonte has been dropped from Claude Puel's side that will take on Liverpool tomorrow night in their EFL Cup semi-final first leg:
Peter Crouch has signed a new deal at Stoke. The former England international had been linked with a move to Bristol City but Potters boss Mark Hughes has handed the player another 12 months at the bet365 Stadium.
In other news, Chelsea are set to appeal the red card captain John Terry picked up in his side's 4-1 FA Cup win over Peterborough at the weekend.
With his side already 3-0 up, the 36-year-old slid and brought down Posh striker Lee Angol - and referee Kevin Friend decided he was the last man. Terry was immediately dismissed.
