Overview
- Hull confirmed the signing of 23-year-old Konstantinos Tzolakis on August 5, 2026, after he left Olympiacos and completed a medical in Athens.
- Local and national reports say the fee is understood to be in excess of £20 million plus add-ons, which would eclipse Hull’s previous single-player record from 2016.
- Tzolakis has signed a five-year deal and has joined Hull’s pre-season squad in Istanbul where he is in line to feature in upcoming friendlies, including the trip to face Eintracht Frankfurt.
- He arrives with Champions League and European competition experience, nine senior caps for Greece, and multiple domestic honours with Olympiacos.
- The move immediately reshapes Hull’s goalkeeping group after Ivor Pandur’s exit and Jack Butland’s arrival, and signals the club’s intent to invest as it prepares to compete in the top flight.
