DANNY Graham’s future at Hull City has been placed into doubt after a couple of clubs sounded out Sunderland about taking the out-of-sorts striker on loan.
Despite the departure of Egyptian striker Gedo back to his former club Al Ahly, and with Nick Proschwitz continuing to attract
interest on the continent, Graham’s future at the KC is also uncertain.
Graham ended his 11-month goal drought, stretching to 28 games, with his first goal in City colours in the 1-1 draw at Swansea back on December 9, but has struggled to get a start since the 3-2 Boxing Day defeat by Manchester United.
Having only featured as a non-playing sub for the 2-0 home defeat by Chelsea at the weekend, the 28-year-old has this week seen his spot placed under even
further pressure by the arrival of £7.5m record signing Nikica Jelavic, and the expected signing of Shane Long from West Bromwich Albion.
With manager Steve Bruce certain to start new signing Jelavic in Saturday’s trip to Norwich, that would put Graham out of the picture for a second successive week.
Parent club Sunderland are closely monitoring the situation and could opt to invoke their recall clause.
After investing more than £5m in the hitman in the last January transfer window, the Black Cats don’t want to see his stock diminish too much as they remain keen to recoup a sizeable portion of the fee paid to Swansea for his services.
