Ilyas Ansah Joins Hull City From Union Berlin

Union confirmed the transfer as a record exit for the club despite continuing disagreement over the fee.

Overview

  • Union Berlin confirmed late Tuesday that Ilyas Ansah has left the club to join Hull City on a permanent transfer and the club thanked the player.
  • Hull is reported to have signed Ansah to a five-year contract and the forward described the move to the Premier League as a dream come true.
  • Media outlets give differing figures for the fee, with reports ranging roughly €21–24m and other accounts saying €15m up front plus €12m in add-ons, leaving the final structure unclear.
  • Ansah, a Germany Under-21 international who will turn 22 in November, spent one season at Union after joining from SC Paderborn and scored five goals in the most recent campaign.
  • The transfer is reported to be Union’s record sale, surpassing the €20m fee for Taiwo Awoniyi in 2022, and it bolsters Hull’s summer recruitment as they reinforce their Premier League squad.
