Hull City have reportedly joined the race to sign Spanish striker Carlos Espi, who played a key role in helping Levante avoid relegation last season, scoring 11 goals in LaLiga.

What's the Latest on the Transfer?

The Tigers are said to be leading the race for Espi, with Lazio also interested in the striker, but the Italian club's chances of signing him are slim due to their restricted transfer budget.

Why is Espi a Target for Hull City?

Espi's impressive form last season has caught the attention of several clubs, including Hull City, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, having finished 6th in the Championship last season, with 73 points from 46 games, and a recent form of 4W-1D-0L.

What Comes Next for Hull City?

Hull City's move for Espi is a significant one, as they look to build on their recent form, which has seen them win four games in a row, including a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough on May 23, 2026, and with the new season just around the corner, the club will be hoping to make a strong start, having scored 70 goals and conceded 66 last season, with a goal difference of +4.
