Hull City considering £1.25m swoop for Slovenia international amid Oxford United interest
Hull City are said to be dwelling over the potential signing of Slovenian midfielder Timi Max Elsnik.
That’s according to Ryan Taylor of the Daily Mirror via the publication’s Live Transfer Blog (15:41, 17/07), which claims that the Slovenian ace has been offered to the Tigers as they rebuild their squad under new boss, Tim Walter.
City are in a transitional phase under the 48-year-old German who took over from Liam Rosenior, with plenty of movement expected in the coming weeks of the summer window after what has been a slow burner so far.
A number of names have been linked with a move to East Yorkshire this summer, which includes Elsnik’s international teammate Zan Celar, but the only concrete arrival so far has been the permanent arrival of Ryan Giles from Luton Town.
However, the acquisition of someone who impressed many at the recent UEFA Euro 2024 would send out a statement that the Tigers are looking to compete and gatecrash the play-off places after last season’s near miss.
Referring back to the Daily Mirror’s exclusive report, it has been claimed that the Tigers have been given the opportunity to sign Elsnik this summer, as further reports state that he looks set to depart his homeland after four-and-a-half years with NK Olimpija Ljubljana.
