Hull City is getting closer to making an ambitious signing of a player who Premier League clubs had previously scouted.
HullLive reports that Hull City is “edging closer” to signing Oscar Zambrano, a midfielder from L.D.U. Quito.
The Ecuadorian youth international is being enticed to come to England this summer by Hull City. Under new manager Tim Walter, they are getting ready for the start of the 2017 Championship season.
The 20-year-old Zambrano is expected to have a successful career in the game. According to a report by the Daily Mail this past winter, he was being watched by Luton Town and AFC Bournemouth during the previous January transfer window. Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion were reportedly scouting him.
According to HullLive’s most recent report on his future, the Tigers want to sign him to a big contract. As they get ready for their opening day matchup against Bristol City at home the following Saturday, they could use additional reinforcements.
Hull City is keeping an eye on new midfield player Zambrano, who they may consider a long-term solution in the middle of the park.
Walter would have to contend with competition from Jean Michael Seri, Regan Slater, and Xavier Simons if he were to enter that division.
