Hull City have broken their transfer record to bring in Greece international goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos, according to BBC News.

The shot-stopper has put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the MKM Stadium, with Hull paying an undisclosed but club-record fee to secure his signature.

Tzolakis arrives with international pedigree, having represented Greece at senior level, and joins a Hull side looking to strengthen their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season. The length of his contract underlines the Tigers' long-term ambitions for the position, suggesting he could be viewed as a first-choice option for years to come rather than a short-term fix.

No further financial details of the deal have been made public, but the fact it eclipses any previous outlay by the club highlights the scale of Hull's investment in the position. BBC News did not report on the exact transfer sum involved.
