Hull City reach round three after Stoke shootout win
Hull are closing in on Ilyas Ansah for a reported €22m. The 21-year-old said goodbye to Union Berlin team-mates after scoring five Bundesliga goals and earning Germany U21 caps.
Hull reached round three after a 1-1 draw at Stoke, winning 5-4 on penalties. Dowell cancelled out Bozenik, and Phillips saved George Hirst's spot-kick before Belloumi sealed it.
After Hull's 2-0 win at Manchester United, Scholes told Fernandes to 'keep your mouth shut', criticising his display and United's defending, especially Maguire's role in Ajayi's opener.
Sergej Jakirovic expects two more Hull signings before the deadline but says there is no news on Sorba Thomas. Jakirovic called the Stoke winger a 'difference maker'.
Hull have missed out on Rokas Pukstas, with Middlesbrough set to seal a €5m deal for the Hajduk Split midfielder after beating off Hull and Birmingham interest.
Hull are hopeful £3m will land Toby Collyer from Manchester United before the deadline. West Brom also want the midfielder, but Hull look in the driving seat.
