Hull City are reportedly closing in on a €20m deal to sign attacker Gabriel Mec from Brazilian side Gremio. According to journalist Fabio Vargas, Hull have reached an advanced stage in talks with Gremio over the transfer.
What's the deal?
The proposed deal would see the Tigers pay a guaranteed €17m fee, plus a further €3m in add-ons.
