Hull have made a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Tim Iroegbunam, with multiple reports confirming that Everton have accepted their latest bid for the player. The midfielder is now locked in personal discussions with the buying side as they look to get a deal done as quickly as they can. While key details still need resolving, the player's move now appears to be a matter of “when”, not “if”. Hull are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Lazio are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Hull are steady at both ends (1.5 goals scored per game, 0 goals conceded per game). The role for Tim Iroegbunam would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Everton are said to be exploring Folarin Balogun, Kenny Tete and Richarlison with Hull likewise connected to Josha Vagnoman, Jean Matteo Bahoya and Robinio Vaz.
