Overview
- Clubs are still negotiating over Emersonn’s transfer and no agreement has been reached between Hull City and Toulouse.
- Sky Sports reported Hull returned with a £22.3m offer after an earlier £17.3m bid was rejected, but Hull Live says the widely circulated £22.3m figure is higher than Hull’s actual offer.
- Ipswich Town is reported to have lodged a rival proposal, increasing competition for the 21-year-old forward.
- Emersonn moved to Toulouse last summer from Göztepe, scored six to seven goals in Ligue 1 last season, and is viewed as a young player with upside rather than an established scorer.
- A completed deal would likely break Hull’s transfer record of £13.8m and signal the club’s intent to spend to strengthen the squad for the Premier League, while a bidding contest could push the fee higher.
