Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has said he is "disturbed" by claims of the club being rejected by transfer targets and, in an unusual move, attempted to clarify the situation.
The Tigers are returning to the Premier League after a nine-year absence following their victory in the Championship play-off final in May.
So far, they have signed keeper Jack Butland from Rangers, midfielder Oscar Zambrano from Maribor and defender Matt Targett following his exit from Newcastle United as they prepare for the 2026-27 top-flight campaign.
"We are reading dozens of false transfer rumors in many places," wrote Ilicali in a social media post.
"We are disturbed by the claims that we have been rejected and by the use of our club's name to gain attention.
