Hull City have entered the race to sign Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl, joining Cardiff City in pursuit of the 20-year-old Norway Under-21 international. The Championship side are preparing an offer for the highly-rated midfielder, who is valued at £8.5million by his Norwegian club.
What happened to Rangers' interest?
Rangers had been the frontrunners to sign Hjerto-Dahl this summer, but their interest cooled after Tromso rejected a £5million bid. The Scottish club have now withdrawn from the race, paving the way for Hull and Cardiff to make their moves.
Why it matters for Hull City
Hull City, who finished 6th in the Championship last season with 73 points (21W-10D-15L), are looking to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new campaign. The Tigers scored 70 goals and conceded 66 last season, finishing 22 points behind leaders Coventry City.
What comes next?
Both Hull and Cardiff are confident of reaching an agreement for Hjerto-Dahl, with the player believed to be keen on a move to English football. The Tigers' next fixture is at home against Sunderland on 10 February 2027.
