Hull City key figure makes transfer revelation on current first-teamer

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has revealed striker Allahyar Sayyadmanesh received a big-money offer to go elsewhere but opted to join the Tigers instead, speaking to Hull Live. The 21-year-old was previously plying his trade at Fenerbahce before the English second-tier side swooped in the latter stages of January, with Ilicali moving quickly to secure some of his top targets during the winter window earlier this year despite only taking control of the club during the same month.

This agreement for the Iranian included a permanent option in his contract – an option that was triggered earlier this summer with Sayyadmanesh joining on a four-year deal after impressing at the MKM Stadium.

Despite only recording one goal in 12 appearances during his loan spell in East Yorkshire, he was a bright spark and continued to shine against Bristol City last week despite operating on the left-hand side.

And he could be a potentially exciting permanent addition after previously being labelled by The Guardian as one of the world’s most exciting young talents, even though he failed to assert himself as a first-team regular as Fenerbahce since then.
