Hull City want to sign up to 10 new players before the summer transfer window closes, with head coach Sergej Jakirovic confirming the Premier League newcomers are still chasing a goalkeeper and centre-back with top-flight experience.
Jakirovic told The i Paper he expects five new arrivals by the end of the week, confirming that Australia international Lucas Herrington and Senegal international Nobel Mendy are undergoing medicals in Manchester.
The pair will join their new teammates in training on Thursday morning, with Jakirovic confident both can make an immediate impact given they have trained and played recently.
He also revealed that the club will “100 per cent” sign a goalkeeper after Jack Butland was ruled out for three months following an arm injury that requires surgery.
Newcastle United’s Nick Pope, who has been told he can leave St James’ Park, is understood to be one of the names under consideration.
