Leeds United gaffer Kevin Blackwell is keen to keep hold of his squad after failing to win promotion to the Premier League, losing to Watford 3-0 in the Play-Off Final.
Hulse, 26 netted 14 goals last term and with eight strikers at Elland Road could be forced to look elsewhere for a first tem place.
United have been linked quite recently with Whites defender Matthew Kilgallon; and the United manager had this to say; "Players like Killa are the future of this football club. We wouldn't want him to go anywhere. I hope this is the end of the matter now."
However the Whites will not receive a parachute payment this year and may be forced to sell there stars.
