Hull City 'rebuffed' in pursuit of Toulouse’s Emersonn as £15m claim emerges
Hull City have reportedly seen a £15m proposal to sign Brazilian forward Emersonn rebuffed by Toulouse.
The 21-year-old forward plies his trade in France’s top tier having cut his teeth in Brazil and Turkey with Athletico Paranaense and Göztepe respectively.
He enjoyed an promising 2025/26 campaign, registering six goals in 27 appearances in Ligue 1 as Toulouse secured a ninth-placed finish.
His exploits appear to have place him on the radar of Hull, who are gearing up for life in the Premier League after securing promotion via the Championship play-offs.
Hull City ‘rebuffed’
According to Mail Online, the Tigers have seen a £15m offer for Emersonn knocked back. The club are said to be exploring a number of options, with Emersonn a player who supposedly has the attributes desired.
Another Premier League club are thought to be on the frontman’s trail and there is also said to be interest from Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco.
It remains to be seen whether Hull will move again for Emersonn, who represented his native Brazil at under-15 level back in 2019.
Hull City’s attack
Oli McBurnie’s goals were crucial as Hull secured promotion but manager Sergej Jakirovic will be keen to ease the burden on his talismanic Scot.
The need for additions in the frontline could be strengthened by the departure of Kyle Joseph, who has reportedly been the subject of a £5m bid from Millwall. Joe Gelhardt, meanwhile, is due back at his parent club Leeds United after a season on loan at the MKM Stadium.
Emersonn has shown promise at a young age and most pertinently, he has shown he can deliver goals in a competitive top-tier division.
Hull will kick off their Premier League campaign on Saturday, August 22, when Manchester United will visit the MKM Stadium.
