Hull City have secured the signing of Norwegian Under-21 midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl from Tromso, locking him in on a five-year contract that extends until 2031. The 20-year-old impressed throughout the 2026 season, netting seven goals in just 14 league appearances, a performance that evidently caught the attention of Hull’s recruitment team.
Defensive Reinforcements and Transfer Pursuits
Beyond Hjerto-Dahl’s arrival, Hull City are actively pursuing additional reinforcements to strengthen their squad. The club has initiated talks with Lorient regarding their centre-back Nathaniel Adjei, who has attracted interest from Sunderland as well. Despite Lorient’s reluctance to part with the defender, Adjei himself appears open to the prospect of a transfer.
Meanwhile, Hull City remain committed to re-signing forward Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United. After a prolific spell that saw Gelhardt score 15 goals, Hull’s interest could potentially block a transfer move by Birmingham City this summer, signaling the club’s determination to bolster their attacking options with familiar talent.
These developments highlight Hull City’s active engagement in the transfer market as they aim to build a competitive squad for the upcoming seasons.
