Hull City have strengthened their defensive options with a double swoop, confirming the signings of Nobel Mendy and Lucas Herrington, according to BBC News.
Mendy arrives from Spanish side Rayo Vallecano for what the club have confirmed is a record transfer fee, marking a significant statement of intent from the Tigers. The centre-back becomes the most expensive addition in the club's history.
Hull also completed the capture of fellow defender Herrington, who joins from American outfit Colorado Rapids, adding further depth to the club's backline heading into the new campaign.
The two additions give Hull's manager fresh options at the heart of defence as the club looks to build on last season and push for a stronger campaign ahead.
