Hull City have made two significant signings ahead of the new Premier League season, strengthening their squad with the acquisition of forward Ilyas Ansah from Union Berlin and right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Genoa. The club has agreed to a £12 million deal for Norton-Cuffy, with Genoa set to pay £3.4 million for Cody Drameh, an English full-back who has played in all three of Hull’s games this season. Norton-Cuffy, 22, joined Geno two years ago after starting his career at Arsenal and was part of the England Under-21 team that won the European Championship in Slovakia in 2025. Ilyas Ansah, a Germany Under-21 international, has signed a five-year contract with Hull for a reported fee of €15 million (£12.8 million), including €12 million (£10.2 million) in add-ons. The 6ft 4in forward, who turns 22 in November, scored five goals in 36 matches across all competitions for Union Berlin last season. His move marks the 13th addition to Hull’s squad this summer, following the club’s return to the Premier League after a nine-year absence. Ansah expressed his excitement about joining the club, saying, “It’s a dream come true for me to play in the Premier League, and for such a big club—it’s really an honour for me.” Hull’s summer transfer activity shows no signs of slowing down, with the club reportedly close to finalizing a £22 million deal for Tim Iroegbunam, a midfielder from Everton. Additionally, Hull is in advanced talks to sign 19-year-old Greek international Christos Mouzakitis from Olympiacos for around £13 million. Mouzakitis, who has made 50 league appearances for Olympiacos, progressed through the club’s academy and has earned 11 caps for Greece’s senior national team. These transfers highlight Hull City’s ambition as they prepare for their first Premier League campaign in nearly a decade. With several new faces joining the squad, the club is aiming to build a competitive team capable of challenging for success in the top flight.
