Reports today confirm that the transfer of Robinio Vaz to Hull has reached a breakthrough stage after Roma gave the green light to the move and reached an agreement with the interested team. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the Hull are about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Hull remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Roma, Arsenal and Chelsea continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Hull have been strong going forward this season, with 2 goals scored in 1 games (2.0 per game). Robinio Vaz would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Alongside this, Roma are said to be exploring Morato, Jamie Bynoe Gittens and Malick Fofana with Hull likewise connected to Fabio Carvalho, Dario Essugo and Yeremay Hernandez Cubas.
