Hull City-linked Toulouse forward Emersonn attracts Ipswich Town 'interest' in fresh transfer twist
Ipswich Town have been credited with interest in a Hull City-linked forward
Hull City could reportedly face competition from Ipswich Town in the race to sign Toulouse forward Emersonn.
The 21-year-old cut his teeth in his native Brazil with Athletico Paranaense before moving on to Turkish outfit Göztepe in January 2025.
He linked up with Toulouse in September of the same year and registered six goals across 27 Ligue 1 appearances last term.
Hull City face Emersonn competition
Hull have been strongly linked with the former Brazil youth international and are said to have had two approaches knocked back. Most recently, the Tigers are thought to have seen a £17.3m offer rejected.
According to Sky Sports, Hull are not the only Premier League club to have taken notice of Emersonn’s talent.
Ipswich Town, who also clinched promotion from the Championship last season, have been named among the marksman’s admirers.
Other Premier League outfits are also believed to be on his trail but only Hull and Ipswich have been named so far.
Hull City preparing for life back in the Premier League
Emersonn has plenty of time to develop at just 21, yet has already proven he can score goals at a high level. Hull and Ipswich will both need new signings to hit the ground running, with England’s top tier an unforgiving place for newly-promoted sides.
Hull have a lot of work to do to get their squad Premier League-ready and speculation regarding potential incomings is rife.
One player seemingly on his way to East Yorkshire is former Leeds United and Barnsley goalkeeper Jack Butland, who has been offered as part of a deal sending Ivor Pandur to Rangers.
The Tigers have also been credited with interest in Belgium internationals Thomas Meunier and Nicolas Raskin.
