Hull City’s latest attempt to bolster their attack just hit a wall. The Championship club tabled a bid reported at £17.3 million for Toulouse striker Emersonn, and the French club said no.

A hot market for a young striker

Emersonn is 21 years old, Brazilian, and under contract with Toulouse until June 2029.

This isn’t the first time a serious offer has been waved away. Real Sociedad reportedly made a €14 million approach back in May 2026. That bid was also turned down.

Monaco has been linked with interest as well, making this a three-way (at minimum) contest that spans England, Spain, and France.
