Hull City Football Club have set their sights on Marlon Harewood.

The powerful striker is well down the pecking order at Aston Villa, to where he has recently returned following a loan spell in the Championship with Newcastle United.

The Magpies are believed to be keen on taking the 30-year-old back to St James Park to aid their promotion bid, whilst former club West Ham United have also been linked.

However, the Sunday Mirror claim Tigers manager Phil Brown is keen on taking Harewood to the KC Stadium on loan, with the view to a permanent £300,000 deal in the summer.
