Hull City are reportedly continuing to push for a deal to sign German midfielder Mert Kömür, according to English Premier League Index (Opta Stats).

The Tigers are said to be encouraged that a breakthrough could be near, having already tabled an offer worth around £10.2m for the Augsburg man. However, the Bundesliga club are understood to be holding firm on their valuation, resisting Hull's proposal so far.

Details remain limited at this stage, but the report suggests Hull's interest is far from cooling, with the Championship side keen to get a deal over the line despite Augsburg's resistance. It's understood talks are ongoing as Hull look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season.
