Hull City's Deadline Day Frenzy: 18 Signings!
2 Sep
Summary
- Hull City made 18 signings during the summer transfer window.
- Club owner emphasized exciting players on the pitch as a priority.
- Several players joined on five-year contracts from European clubs.
Hull City finalized an exceptionally busy summer transfer window with significant late-day dealings, ultimately bringing 18 new players to the club. Owner Acun Ilicali shared that his primary objective this year was to acquire exciting talent for the pitch, a strategy he believes led to promotion last year. The club focused on strengthening multiple positions rather than concentrating on one high-profile acquisition, citing the risk of a single mistake impacting the entire team.
Among the notable arrivals on deadline day were Union Berlin striker Ilyas Ansah and Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam, both securing five-year contracts. Defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy also joined from Genoa on a similar long-term deal. The club reportedly secured winger Sorba Thomas from Stoke City for £7 million and added Greek midfielder Christos Mouzakitis from Olympiacos on a five-year contract. Player departures included forward Liam Millar, who moved to Birmingham City on loan.
