Hull City have signed Colombian midfielder Gustavo Puerta from German champions Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan.

The Tigers have an option to buy the 21-year-old - who has played for his country at under-19 and under-20 level - next summer.

He has twice been an unused substitute for Colombia's senior side, but has yet to win a cap.

Puerta made 10 appearances for Leverkusen last season as Xabi Alonso's side won the Bundesliga without losing a game and reached the Europa League final.

He moved to Germany in January 2023 having scored three goals in 31 games for Bogota in his homeland.
