What Hull City still lack as the transfer window closes

20-year-old Real Betis winger Pablo Garcia remains a key missing piece as Hull City, the ambitious Tigers, continue their summer recruitment drive, still needing two new forwards—Mohamed Ali-Cho and Ilyas Ansah—plus additional attacking options to strengthen the squad before the 1 September deadline.

Targeted forward signings

Hull City are still working on adding two new forwards, Mohamed Ali-Cho and Ilyas Ansah. Both players are expected to bolster the Tigers' attacking options.

The club have also shown interest in Real Betis winger Pablo Garcia. The 20-year-old's deal has stalled after the La Liga side raised his valuation, delaying any potential move.

Stoke City’s Sorba Thomas is another player cited as a target. Thomas is being monitored as Hull look to add depth to their forward line.

Beyond forwards, Sergej Jakirovic’s side could still pursue a goalkeeper, a midfielder and a right-back in the final week of the window. These positions are seen as areas needing reinforcement.

Ryan Frankish, a Hull fan, said: "Over the next week, if we bring in a left winger, one more striker—assuming the Ali-Cho deal also gets completed—a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a right-back to add depth and challenge Lewie Coyle for the starting spot, we will be in a strong position to compete." Frankish's comments underline the club's ambition to add depth across the attack.

The club asks supporters what business still needs to be completed before the 1 September deadline. Fans are invited to share their views on the remaining transfer priorities.
