Owner Illicali posts 'upgraded version' of transfer targets

Hull City’s owner Acun Illicali has posted his “upgraded version” of the Tigers’ transfer prospects.

The coded message on X is a tease on who the Tigers are trying to sign.

Jack Butland, Oscar Zambrano, Matt Targett and Hidemasa Morita have completed their move to the MKM Stadium.

Illicali has posted a tick emoji alongside the Greece, Norway, Senegal, Australia, Sweden and Jamaica flag, but they have not yet announced any players from those nationalities.

To add to the possible signings, the owner has posted a percentage next to a number of flags which could indicate his strength of feeling for a deal or how far along a possible transfer is.

As you can read lower down this page, BBC Radio Humberside’s Mike White may have identified who the Swedish and Norwegian players are.
