Hull City got relegated last season and as expected, a number of players made their way from the KCOM Stadium, reducing to take a step down. The Tigers have made significant efforts to fill the void in this summer by investing pretty selflessly but with the deadline day approaching, a number of transfer movements are expected to happen for the Tigers.
Hull will be looking to make their way back to Premier League again but the path is too difficult and they need to keep up their momentum in a bid to stay in the hunt for an imminent promotion. If reports are to be believed, Hull Are making efforts to bring Watford winger Isaac Success to the KCOM Stadium. Leonid Slutsky needs to address his attacking department and a move for the 21-year-old supposedly makes sense.
The Nigerian has been struggling to get a strong foot at the Vicarage Road since his arrival and has fallen in the pecking order of the new manager Marco Silva. The winger was bought for a record fee of £12.5 m amidst much expectation but hasn’t been able to dig up heavily and the Hornets are ready to part ways with him already.
Slutsky recently sold Sam Clucas to Swansea City and has a large pool of transfer kitty to play with. Success is an inverted winger who basically plays on the left side but can also be stationed on the either wing and up front.
The injury to Abel Hernandez has come as a big blow to the Tigers and Slutsky is preparing to shake up his squad in a bit to round things up before the deadline day.
The 21-year-old came through Nigeria’s BJ Foundation Academy and moved to Udinese to continue his development. Following his shining skills, he was snapped up by Granada and in the last summer, the Hornets decided to grab him.
Success needs the platform to present his showings and what could be better than the Championship? The English second tier has many challenging situations that could possibly arise and Success’ playing style could be an instant hit given its rough and tough nature.
Hull are pressing for a short term loan-move as Slutsky doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes that Watford did. The Tigers showed their intent as they pumped in four goals past Bolton Wanderers in the last match and the addition of Success will only make them stronger in future.
