Hull City boss Steve Bruce says they're not competing for Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede.

Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer revealed this week an enquiry had been made for the 26-year-old.

However, Bruce has dismissed speculation of the Tigers landing Gestede, insisting it was "not going to happen" this month.

"I called Gary two or three days ago to clarify the situation and we talked briefly. It was a non-starter before we got anywhere," said Bruce.

"I enquired about him and the answer came back not at the sort of figures we're talking about.

It's not going to happen."
