Hull City appear to have made a significant transfer breakthrough on deadline day
Hull City have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Christos Mouzakitis from Greek giants Olympiacos.
It has been an incredibly busy summer of recruitment at the MKM Stadium but the Tigers are not yet finished on the transfer front.
They are hoping to strengthen ahead of the 11pm deadline tonight (September 1) and appear to have made a breakthrough.
Hull City ‘agree’ deadline day deal
According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, the Premier League newcomers have agreed a deal to prise Mouzakitis from his native Greece.
A deal worth €15m (£12.8m) is said to have been teed up, with Hull hoping to unite the 19-year-old midfielder with his compatriot Konstantinos Tzolakis.
Posting on X, O’Rourke said: “Understand Hull have agreed a deal for highly-rated Olympiacos midfielder Christos Mouzakitis in a €15m deal.”
Christos Mouzakitis profile
Mouzakitis made his Olympiacos debut in 2023 and has since taken his appearance tally for the club to 78. He has collected plenty of accolades at a tender age, scooping the Greek Super League, Greek Football Cup and Greek Super Cup trophies.
He would be arriving in East Yorkshire as a player with years of growth ahead of him, but one with senior experience already under his belt.
Hull City’s strong start
Hull have made a strong start to the Premier League season, defeating Manchester United and Coventry City across their opening two games.
After his side’s in over Manchester United, Tigers boss Sergej Jakirovic said: “They will come 100 per cent now. I don't have any doubts.
“I was in a similar position last season. I tried to explain to some people, some players chose other clubs, and then they joined us in January, if you remember. They will come.”
