English club Hull City has officially announced the signing of Greek goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. The news was confirmed by the management of the 'Tigers,' who are making their return to the Premier League.
According to British media reports, the transfer fee paid to Olympiacos is a club record – £20 million, including additional bonuses. This surpasses their previous record of £13 million for Ryan Mason in 2016. The 23-year-old custodian has signed a five-year contract.
The goalkeeper, who boasts nine caps for the Greek national team, arrives after a highly successful stint with Olympiacos. During his time with the Greek giants, he secured four domestic league titles and triumphed in the UEFA Europa Conference League during the 2023/24 season.
"I'm ready for a new chapter in my career. Hull City is different because we're playing in the Premier League. We'll be battling against top players, so it's a challenge for me. I feel ready," Tzolakis stated in an official announcement.
He added that he is thrilled to join his new team: "I spoke with the manager and felt that this is my club, my colours, my city. I can already imagine playing in front of the fans."
Hull City secured promotion to the top flight after defeating Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final. The 'Tigers' will kick off their new Premier League season with a home fixture against Manchester United on August 22nd.
