Hull City table contract offer to former QPR defender Nedum Onuoha Philip Buckingham Hull City have stepped up their interest in Nedum Onuoha by offering the former Manchester City and QPR defender a deal at the KCOM Stadium. As reported last week, Nigel Adkins is keen on landing Onuoha as he attempts to bolster his defensive ranks ahead of pre-season beginning next week. The 31-year-old is available on a free transfer after leaving QPR last month and the Tigers have now made their first move with a contract offer. City are waiting on an answer from Onuoha, who is also reportedly a target for Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers. Adkins is eager to see the first movement of a dormant summer this week and Onuoha’s experience and versatility appeals to City’s head coach. Although the former England under-21s international was sent off when last appearing at the KCOM Stadium in April when clashing with Markus Henriksen, the defender has been identified as a replacement for captain Michael Dawson, who joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer this summer. Onuoha has made over 300 appearances in the Premier League and Championship and spent six years with QPR until his recent exit. City are also attempting to strike a deal that could see Nottingham Forest right-back Eric Lichaj join this week. The Tigers have so far only seen a string of high-profile names move on this summer. Dawson, Allan McGregor, David Meyler, Seb Larsson, Abel Hernandez and Moses Odubajo have all left since last season finished with a 1-1 draw away to Brentford.
