Marcel Lavinier emerges as Hull City's preferred right-back target

Tottenham Hotspur full-back Marcel Lavinier is Hull City's preferred right-back target this summer. Shota Arveladze has brought ten new faces through the door already this summer and Hull Live understands Lavinier is the club's number one target to bolster the defence.

Lavinier has currently been frozen out of Spurs U21s' squad due to a contract dispute, according to reports, with City now looking to capitalise on that. The Tigers are hopeful of securing a loan move for the defender, but Antonio Conte's side are understood to want to sort out a new contract before sanctioning any move.

The England youth international made his Spurs debut in a Europa League bout against Wolfsberger back in 2021 and has been a regular for the U21's in Premier League 2 Division 1. Lavinier is currently in the final year of his contract at the club, originally arriving on a free transfer following his release from Chelsea.

Lavinier has also trained with the Tottenham first-team on a number of occasions, but now is looking to get more game time at senior level.
