Hull City Transfer Update: Tigers Exit Two Deals, New Striker Search Begins

Hull City have confirmed that they have exited two transfer deals, with the Tigers now turning their attention to signing a new striker.

The club had been linked with a move for Nice winger Mohamed Ali-Cho, but sources have revealed that the deal has been called off due to the club's inability to finalise a fee with the French club.

Instead, the Tigers are now expected to sign another winger to join Mo Belloumi and Leon Bailey in the squad. The club is also believed to be in talks with two other strikers to provide competition and cover for Oli McBurnie.

In other transfer news, Hull City have pulled out of the race to sign Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor, after their enquiries were knocked back by the Stadium of Light club. The Tigers have also opted against signing Franjo Ivanovic from Benfica.

A bid for Swansea City's Zan Vipotnik has been turned down by the Championship club, with the Tigers unwilling to meet the Welsh side's asking price of around £20m.

Despite the setbacks, Hull City remain on course to boost their squad with a fresh batch of new players, and answer Sergej Jakirovic's call to add more quality ahead of the Premier League's big kick-off on Saturday week.

The Tigers are currently 22 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race, but have been in good form recently, with a 4-game winning run taking them to 4W-1D-0L (WWWWD, most recent first).

Hull City's current league standing is 6th in the Championship, with 73 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WWDWL.

The club has also confirmed that Abu Kamara's move back to Portsmouth has been completed, with the winger signing a three-year contract at Fratton Park, and the Tigers receiving around £2.5m.
