Hull City have agreed a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, with the 21-year-old now set for a medical in East Yorkshire before Tuesday's transfer deadline. The move would add a winger with end product, senior experience and serious pace to one of the summer's busiest rebuilds.
Bahoya's output and pace
Bahoya has seven goals and eight assists in 78 matches for Frankfurt since joining from Angers in 2024. That is a decent return for a player who is still only 21, and it fits the kind of direct attacker Hull appear to be targeting.
The pace is the standout detail. Bahoya holds the Bundesliga speed record after being clocked at 23.09mph against Bochum in 2025. He is primarily a left winger, but he can also play in multiple attacking positions, which gives Hull a bit of flexibility if the deal is completed.
Hull's summer rebuild
Bahoya could become Hull's 13th signing of the summer transfer window. That alone shows how aggressively they have attacked this window after promotion through last season's play-offs.
The club have already beaten Manchester United and Coventry City in their opening two Premier League matches, so the recruitment push is happening while the season is live and the squad is still being reshaped. Bahoya would be another piece in that process, not the final one.
The medical in East Yorkshire is the immediate step. If he clears that and the paperwork follows, Hull will have added a 21-year-old France Under-21 international with proven Bundesliga output and genuine straight-line speed before Tuesday's deadline.
