Brighton have reportedly rejected two bids from Hull for winger Jiri Skalak and central midfielder Oliver Norwood.
Tigers boss Nigel Adkins is keen to strengthen in the middle of the park this summer, but the Seagulls are not willing to let their players go easily despite having signed eight players already during the current window.
Adkins has actually worked with Norwood before, and is fully aware of his talent. The former Reading boss signed him for the Royals back in 2014, and the midfielder went on to be a complete success during his time in Berkshire.
