Hull City have completed the signings of Tim Iroegbunam from Everton and Robinio Vaz from Roma, as reported by BBC Sport. The deals were finalised on transfer deadline day, with Iroegbunam joining for an initial £13m and potential add-ons of £9m on a five-year contract, while Vaz arrived on a loan agreement with an option to buy.
What does the Iroegbunam signing mean for Hull City’s midfield?
Tim Iroegbunam is 23 years old and has signed a five-year deal with the Tigers. His arrival adds youth and potential to a midfield that now includes several new faces this summer. The fee structure reflects Hull City’s ambition to invest in developing talent with resale value, a strategy echoed across their recent recruitment.
How does Robinio Vaz fit into the squad?
Robinio Vaz is 19 years old and a France Under-20 international. His loan move from Roma includes an option to buy, giving Hull City flexibility to assess his development in the Premier League. The young winger brings pace and technical ability to an attacking line looking to build on early-season momentum.
Who else arrived on deadline day?
Hull City signed six players in total on deadline day. Sorba Thomas joined from Stoke City for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract after scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists in 45 Championship appearances last season. Ilyas Ansah arrived from Union Berlin for a reported fee of 15m euros (£12.8m) with 12m euros (£10.2m) in add-ons on a five-year deal, having scored five goals in 36 matches for the German side last season. Brooke Norton-Cuffy joined from Genoa for an agreed £12m deal, having begun his career at Arsenal and been part of the England Under-21 squad that won the European Championship in Slovakia in 2025. Christos Mouzakitis also signed from Olympiakos for a reported £13m, bringing 50 league appearances and 11 caps for Greece at just 19 years old.
What is Hull City’s current position in the Premier League?
Having won their first two matches since returning to the Premier League after a nine-year absence, Hull City sit 3rd in the table with 6 points from 2 games, boasting a goal difference of +3 after scoring three and conceding none. Their recent form is WW, and they prepare to host Aston Villa on 2026-09-05, a side currently 19th in the league. The squad will be without Charlie Hughes, Darko Gyabi, Jack Butland, and Óscar Zambrano, all currently sidelined.
Cody Drameh is heading in the opposite direction, joining Genoa for £3.4m after featuring in all three of Hull's games this season. With 18 players signed this summer, the club has reshaped its squad significantly ahead of the new campaign.
