Hull City Centre-Half Greaves Linked Wednesday, 19th Jun 2024 10:40
Hull City centre-half Jacob Greaves is reportedly a top target of Town boss Kieran McKenna this summer.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Greaves, 23, is top of McKenna’s list as he looks to strengthen his backline ahead of the Blues’ return to the Premier League.
Cottingham-born Greaves, the son of former Hull City and York City defender Mark Greaves, came through the ranks at his local club, spending time on loan with Cheltenham in 2019/20.
In 2023/24, his fourth campaign in the Tigers’ first team, he was was named in the EFL Championship Team of the Season and also carried off his club’s Player of the Year award.
The 6ft 4in tall defender is also interesting other Premier League sides and is widely reported to be Everton’s number one target to replace Jarrad Branthwaite should he move on this summer. West Ham United have also been linked with the £20 million-rated central defender.
Would be a great signing, although £20m seems a little spenny. A clear upgrade on Burgess whilst still being very similar and then LCB postion is sorted. If it's £10m upfront and £6-8m in add-ons, that I think would be good business, could be worth double if he has a good season.
Yes would be a good signing and suits McKenna's philosophy of working with younger players and improving them not sure Rondon would fit in the system. Mind you 20million is a bit of a risk on a player who's not proven in the Premier league but McKenna is a brilliant manager and i trust his judgement. Tottenham i here are asking 10 million for Rondon which on the face of it sounds good value on a player with more experience than Greaves but maybe McKenna see's Greaves as a better long term prospect. What ever happens i trust McKenna's judgement.
He will love the training ground !!! We should not worry about spends, as our management have that side of things figured out these days.....hopefully.
Sounds like speculation to push his price up. Not convinced by any media story as our model is to keep transfer dealings close to our chest until done. Onwards and upwards. I will just look forward to hearing from the horses mouth when we have made a signing.
People saying 20 million is a risk but I’m pretty sure if we hadn’t have gone up we’d be expecting that at least for Leif so not sure why people are questioning the price. In the team of the season, Left sided player and their player of the season.
Would be near perfect. We lack left sided CB's. Greaves also very capable of playing at LB and would naturally fill as Leif bombs forward. May lack a bit of pace, which is true of all our existing options also, but solid, strong in the tackle and in the air and very good touch.
Would be a really good signing if we can get him at a good price. The only question mark would be whether we would want a left-sided or right-sided centre back. Personally I think we should probably be prioritising that right side as I think Cam Burgess is ready for that step up to the prem and with there being more options on that right hand side, we could probably find a player at better value.
