How Hull City can have the perfect summer transfer window in 7 steps

Championship side Hull City look set to have a busy summer with owner Acun Ilicali and manager Shota Arveladze wanting to put their own stamp on the Tigers during what will be their first full window at the club.

After remaining afloat in the second tier, they should have the room to spend a considerable amount on players this summer as they look to transform themselves from an average side in their current division to promotion chasers.

Already taking big steps to shake up their squad, they are planning to release captain Richie Smallwood, the experienced Tom Huddlestone and forward Tom Eaves on the expiration of their respective contracts this summer.

They will need to replace the trio, with more leaders potentially needing to be recruited in the coming months following the announcement of Smallwood’s departure.

Other steps need to be taken if the second-tier outfit want to have a productive window though – and here are seven objectives that should be achieved.
