Hull City had a busy transfer deadline day, signing six new players to strengthen their squad as they continue their return to the Premier League. One of the most high-profile signings was Tim Iroegbunam, a 23-year-old midfielder from Everton. Hull paid an initial £13 million for Iroegbunam, with the total fee potentially rising to £22 million depending on performance-related add-ons. He has signed a five-year contract with Hull, marking a significant step in his career after two years with the Toffees.
In addition to Iroegbunam, Hull also signed Robinio Vaz, a 19-year-old French Under-20 international from Roma, on a loan deal with an option to buy. The club also acquired Sorba Thomas, a 27-year-old winger from Championship side Stoke City, for an undisclosed fee. Thomas, who scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists in the Championship last season, has signed a four-year contract with Hull.
Earlier in the day, Hull completed two more signings. Ilyas Ansah, a 6ft 4in forward from Union Berlin, joined the club on a five-year contract for a reported £12.8 million, with additional fees potentially increasing the total to £15 million. Ansah, who turns 22 in November, scored five goals in 36 games for Union Berlin last season. Meanwhile, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, a 22-year-old right-back from Genoa, signed for Hull after a £12 million deal. Norton-Cuffy, who was part of the England Under-21 team that won the European Championship in 2025, had previously played for Arsenal as a youth player.
Hull also made a move for 19-year-old Greek international Christos Mouzakitis from Olympiakos, reportedly for £13 million. Mouzakitis, who has made 50 league appearances for Olympiakos, has been with the club since progressing through their academy. In a separate move, English full-back Cody Drameh, who had played in all three of Hull's games this season, moved to Genoa in a £3.4 million deal.
This summer has been a significant one for Hull, with the club signing 18 new players. Their strong start to the season, winning their first two matches after returning to the Premier League for the first time in nine years, has likely contributed to their active transfer activity. The new signings are expected to play a key role in the club's campaign in the top flight.
