‘Absolute bargain’ – fans can’t believe Hull signed West Ham defender Burke for so cheap

Neymar had only just turned professional in 2009 but his outstanding talent ensured he was expected to become a Brazil football legend. Watch Neymar at age 17.

Hull City confirmed the signing of West Ham United defender Reece Burke and supporters can’t believe how cheap he was. After shipping so many league goals in 2017/18 and losing two defenders this summer, City are in need of replacements.

The 21-year-old cost the Tigers £1.5m and will look to become a first-team regular at the KCOM Stadium. Burke rose through the youth ranks to the senior side at West Ham and went on to make 15 appearances in all competitions.
