Blues accept bid for Hooper from Scunthorpe

Last updated : 04 July 2008 By Shrimpers24

The Blues have accepted an undisclosed bid, but rumoured to be a six-figure sum, for striker Gary Hooper.

20-year old Hooper is the subject of interest from several clubs and has met Scunthorpe officials to discuss terms.

There's certainly money in the kitty for the Lincolnshire based club who have been losing players after their relegation from the Championship including a million from Burnley for striker Martin Paterson.

Whether this brings other clubs to the table, including Hereford with an increased offer, manager Graham Turner insists they are still interested, we will have to see. Certainly it will be a big change of location for young Hoops.
