Keito Nakamura attracts interest from Hull City

Hull City has expressed interest in signing Japanese midfielder Keito Nakamura from Stade Reims. Following his performance in the 2026 World Cup, where he recorded one goal and one assist, the 26-year-old attacker is reportedly eager to move to the Premier League.

Stade Reims has set a transfer valuation of £21.5 million for the player. While Nakamura has previously received offers from clubs in Spain and Turkey, the high asking price remains a potential obstacle for interested parties. Hull City, which has already spent approximately £76 million on new signings this summer including Hidemasa Morita, is among the clubs monitoring his situation.

Media reports suggest that Nakamura’s quality on the pitch and his growing personal brand off it have drawn significant attention. BBC noted that his performances have proven he is capable of playing at the highest level.
