Hull City nears record transfer for Ilyas Ansah from Union Berlin

Hull City is nearing the completion of a transfer for 21-year-old striker Ilyas Ansah from German club Union Berlin. The deal is expected to be a record sale for Union Berlin, with estimates placing the fee between €22 million and €24 million, including bonuses.

Ansah is described as a versatile and athletic attacker capable of playing on the left wing or as part of a two-man strike partnership. Standing at 1.97 meters, he is noted for his high work rate, defensive contributions, and ability to execute interceptions and tackles.

While recognized as a promising talent in the Bundesliga, scouts note areas for development, including his shot conversion rate and aerial duel success rate. His transition will involve adapting to the physical demands of English football.
