deadline: Hull city target have been confirmed (sign in) by …
Transfer news for Hull City: On what the Tigers hope will be a busy deadline day, a former Huddersfield Town player becomes a target.
On what Hull City hopes will be a busy deadline day, Kasey Palmer has surfaced as a target. The Tigers, eager to implement a drastic change in tactics despite having a new coach this summer, have been slow to add new players to a squad that has lost an astounding 22 first-team players once returning loanees are factored in. Since the season began, Liam Millar, Marvin Mehlem, Cody Drameh, and Anthony Racioppi have joined Liam Millar, Marvin Mehlem, Cody Drameh, and Anthony Racioppi. Besides Palmer, Coventry City’s attacking midfielder, the Tigers are hoping to add a goalkeeper, two wingers, and a striker on deadline day.

This season, Hull has drew all three of its league games while scoring twice and giving up two goals. Sheffield Wednesday knocked them out of the FA Cup. Palmer, who had two loan periods with Huddersfield Town when in Chelsea’s youth, has a year left on his Sky Blues contract, and Hull were said to have made an approach on Thursday. The 27-year-old scored against Bristol City in his first three Championship games as a substitute. During an FA Cup match at Sheffield Wednesday in January, he was the target of racist taunts. The Owls quickly apologised and banned the fan concerned. Hull had showed interest in Jonas Meffert, who plays for coach Tim Walter’s last club Hamburg, but had faced with staunch resistance thus far.
Jay Stansfield of Fulham was a target for Hull at center-forward, where Hull is lacking in depth following the departure of Oscar Estupinan. However, rumors in the Midlands state that League One Birmingham City has made a bid of “£9m-10m” for their former loanee. Hull is unlikely to be able to compete with that, let alone desire to, without violating the financial fair play regulations. Palmer, or anyone else, would need to register by Friday at noon in order to be eligible to play Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday. Clubs can sign players who will play for the rest of 2024 until 11 p.m. The one exception is free agents, which likely explains why Hull signed Liam Cooper despite having a ton of business to attend to.
