Overview
- Hull confirmed on Wednesday that Konstantinos Tzolakis has joined from Olympiacos on a five-year contract.
- Multiple outlets report the fee is a club record in excess of £20 million plus add-ons, eclipsing the previous mark from 2016.
- Tzolakis arrives with extensive European experience and honours, having made 131 appearances for Olympiacos and won domestic titles plus the 2023–24 Europa Conference League.
- Manager Sergej Jakirovic has identified Tzolakis as Hull’s first-choice goalkeeper and the player has joined pre-season, with the squad set to travel to Germany and a possible friendly appearance against Eintracht Frankfurt.
- The signing reflects Hull’s intent to invest after promotion and could affect further transfer business as the club prepares for early Premier League tests against Manchester United, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle.
