Hull City opened the Premier League season by beating champions Leicester City 2-1 at the KCOM Stadium last weekend but, in truth, the club is in near-suspended animation.
Two of the 13 senior players currently available to caretaker manager Mike Phelan, filling in after manager Steve Bruce resigned on July 22, are goalkeepers. Until current owners the Allam family are able to sell the club, with a Chinese consortium reported to be close to making an offer, then no incoming transfers are expected, even if the club have been linked with Legia Warsaw's Nemanja Nikolic, who played for Hungary at Euro 2016.
