From Lion to Tiger. It's official: Hidemasa Morita is set to fulfill his dream of playing in the Premier League. The Japanese midfielder was announced this Friday as a new signing for Hull City, recently promoted via the Championship play-offs, and has penned a two-year deal, running until June 2028, with an option for a further year.
The 31-year-old midfielder concluded his four-year spell with Sporting and arrives in England on a free transfer. Leeds United and Ipswich Town were also reportedly interested in the Japanese international, but Hull City was the only club to make a concrete offer and secure his signature.
This official announcement comes on the same day that reports emerged of the English club's interest in Florentino. The former Benfica player is currently in pre-season with Burnley, who were relegated to the Championship, but English media outlets have reported that Hull City aims to bring the midfielder back to the Premier League.
