Hull City is on the brink of securing their first new signing ahead of the January transfer window, aiming to strengthen their position in the Championship’s top six. Manager Liam Rosenior is eager to enhance the squad’s capabilities and is optimistic about the team’s potential for a promotion push. The new addition, whose identity has been kept confidential, is expected to bring valuable experience to the predominantly youthful squad.
The Tigers harbor a growing belief within their dressing room that achieving promotion is a realistic goal for the current group of players. With strategic reinforcements, Hull City aims to sustain their momentum in the play-off race during the second half of the campaign, including upcoming fixtures against Bristol City, Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers, and Sheffield Wednesday.
While the name of the incoming player is undisclosed, sources involved in the discussions have shared the information with Hull Live. The signing aligns with Rosenior’s vision of building a promotion-winning team, and the player has expressed a keen desire to contribute to the club’s success.
Rosenior’s focus for the January transfer window includes strengthening the attacking options, with plans to add at least one winger to provide competition and cover for Jaden Philogene and Jason Lokilo. Forward reinforcements are also a priority to alleviate the workload on Liam Delap and Aaron Connolly. Delap has been outstanding this season, contributing with assists, while Connolly has faced challenges due to a lingering toe problem.
Keinan Davis, previously close to signing for Hull City in the summer, is reportedly interested in returning to England after an unsuccessful stint with Udinese in Italy. The pursuit of Davis suggests the club’s ongoing desire to bolster their attacking options. The Tigers face challenges in the wide areas, with Lokilo nursing a hamstring issue, and Philogene expected to return in the New Year after an impressive run of form.
