Hull City have completed a deal believed to be worth £12.85m for Olympiacos defensive midfielder Christos Mouzakitis.

Rather than Premier League experience, the Tigers have focussed heavily on young talent in this transfer window, and the highly-rated 19-year-old left-footer certainly falls into that category.

Though not yet 20, Mouzakitis had made 76 appearances in the last two seasons, including two in this season's Champions League qualifiers.

He is also a full Greek international, with 11 caps, and has penned a five-year deal.

Mouzakitis is the six central midfielder Hull have signed in this transfer window, and the second on deadline day after Tim Iroegbunam.

Jens Hjerto-Dahl, Lucas Gourna, Hidemasa Morita and Oscar Zambrano are the others.

The Tigers had been in for Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo on loan, but decided instead to go for Tim Iroegbunam, who had been a target all window long.

Essugo was loaned to Chelsea's feeder club Strasbourg instead.
