Hull City has sent a clear message to the Premier League with a blockbuster signing that shatters the club’s transfer record. The East Yorkshire side confirmed the arrival of 21-year-old central defender Nobel Mendy from LaLiga side Rayo Vallecano, securing his services on a five-year deal with a one-year extension option.
The move marks the latest in a series of ambitious acquisitions as Hull prepares for its return to England’s top flight. While the exact financial details remain undisclosed, club officials confirmed the transfer fee surpasses the previous record set earlier this month—a benchmark previously held by Greek goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
