Ilyas Ansah transfers from Union Berlin to Hull City

Overview

Union Berlin striker Ilyas Ansah has completed his transfer to Premier League newcomer Hull City, signing a five-year contract that runs until 2031.

While Union Berlin has not officially disclosed the final transfer fee, reports indicate the deal is worth up to 22 million euros. This figure would establish a new record sale for the Berlin-based club, surpassing the previous record of approximately 20 million euros set by Taiwo Awoniyi’s move to Nottingham Forest. One specific report suggests the deal is structured with 17 million euros paid directly and an additional 4 million euros in installments.

Ansah, a 21-year-old versatile attacker, joined Union Berlin from SC Paderborn in the summer of 2025. During his time with the Bundesliga side, he appeared in between 32 and 37 competitive matches and scored five goals. Union Berlin’s Managing Director of Sport, Horst Heldt, described the offer from Hull City as “very attractive” and expressed gratitude to the player for his contributions.
