Hull City appear to be picking up the pace in the transfer market, with EPL Index reporting that left-back Matt Targett is closing in on a move to the MKM Stadium.
Targett, who has Premier League experience, would represent a shrewd bit of business for the Tigers as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new campaign. According to the report, his arrival looks close to being finalised, giving Hull a recognisable top-flight name to bolster their backline.
Alongside the Targett development, EPL Index also notes that Hull have registered interest in Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey, though that link remains firmly at the speculation stage rather than anything concrete.
Taken together, the two stories suggest a club willing to be more ambitious in the market than in recent windows - a defender edging toward completion, and a more eye-catching attacking target being explored in the background. Hull's business, even at this early stage, hints at a squad being reshaped with genuine intent.
