Hull City boss Steve Bruce is chasing Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah.
The People says Bruce has joined the race to take Mo Salah on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season.
Italians Roma and Turkish side Besiktas are also keen on the Premier League leaders' 22-year-old Egyptian winger.
But Bruce has the backing of the Tigers' Egypt-born owner Assem Allam as he tries to make the additions to his squad that will help them retain their Premier League status.
