Hull City's pursuit of six-goal Toulouse star Emersonn latest as £17.3m bid claim emerges
The latest on Toulouse forward Emersonn as a fresh Hull City claim emerges
Hull City have reportedly seen a £17.3m bid for Toulouse forward Emersonn rejected.
The 21-year-old, a former Brazil youth international, has been on the books of French outfit Toulouse since September 2025.
He was signed from Göztepe in Turkey and delivered six goals across 27 Ligue 1 appearances last season.
Hull City interest in Emersonn latest
Earlier this month, it was claimed Hull had made an unsuccessful £15m approach to lure the frontman from Stadium de Toulouse.
Sky Sports have now claimed the Tigers have had a £17.3m offer turned down by the French club. They are said to have tabled an initial fee of £15.1m and £2.2m in add-ons.
Toulouse reportedly have a much higher valuation of the forward, who started his career in his native Brazil with Athletico Paranaense.
Hull are thought to be considering their next move but may need to act swiftly given they are not reportedly not the only Premier League club on Emersonn’s trail.
Hull City’s attack
Oli McBurnie was Hull’s chief marksman last term, firing the Tigers to promotion from the Championship with an 18-goal haul.
However, the Tigers may be hoping to be less reliant on the Scotland-capped frontman in the Premier League.
They are also looking thin at the top end of the pitch, with Joe Gelhardt and Yū Hirakawa back at parent clubs Leeds United and Bristol City and Kyle Joseph reportedly nearing a move to Middlesbrough.
Emersonn would arguably be a shrewd addition and at 21, he is a player who could see his value skyrocket in the future. That being said, an immediate impact would be required from a player signed for such a high price.
Hull will kick off their Premier League campaign on August 22, when they will welcome Manchester United to the MKM Stadium.
