Overview
- Leeds United confirmed on Saturday that Joe Gelhardt has completed a permanent move to Hull City for an undisclosed fee.
- Multiple outlets report Gelhardt has signed a four-year contract with a one-year club option and that the overall package could be worth about £6.5m with add-ons.
- Gelhardt rebuilt his value on loan at Hull, scoring a career-high 14 goals and providing four assists as he helped the club win promotion last season.
- Reports say Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic pushed for the signing and the club beat interest from other Championship sides to secure the forward.
- The deal ends Gelhardt’s six-year spell at Leeds and may affect Hull’s pre-season squad selection after the transfer completed during summer preparations.
