Flurry of signings expected to follow at Hull City following club-record transfer

Hull City have announced the club-record signing of goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the club, joining for a fee believed to be around £20m.

“Hull City is something different because we are playing in the Premier League,” Tzolakis said.

“We have to fight against top players, so it’s a challenge for me.

“I feel ready. I will give everything I have every single day in training to help our team to achieve its goals.

“I’m excited to be in England. I wanted to come to Hull City because the Premier League is the top stage.”

The Greece international’s arrival is expected to be followed by several more signings.

Hull are advancing in a deal for Aston Villa attacker Leon Bailey, and are closing in on the signings of Rayo Vallecano centre-back Nobel Mendy, full-back Elliot Stroud and midfielder Jens Hjertø-Dahl.
