Arthur Avom Ebong has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Hull, with the Championship side said to be eyeing a move for the Lorient midfielder. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Hull are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Rennes are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Hull are steady at both ends (1.65 goals scored per game, 1.41 goals conceded per game). The role for Arthur Avom Ebong would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Hull have recently been linked with Nestory Irankunda, Jack Butland and Emersonn Correia da Silva while Lorient have had no rumoured targets. Want more transfer rumours like this?
