Hull City have agreed a £22m package to sign Tim Iroegbunam from Everton, with an initial £13m fee and up to £9m in add-ons. The midfielder has been given permission to travel for a medical in East Yorkshire, so the move is moving through the final steps rather than sitting at the talking stage.
BBC Sport reported the agreement as part of a busy end to the window for both clubs, with Hull City still looking to add more players before Tuesday night's deadline. It is the kind of deal that fits a late scramble: one club trying to get deals done quickly, another cashing in while the market is still open.
Iroegbunam's limited season involvement
The fee stands out because Iroegbunam has made only one Premier League appearance this season and has logged just 3 minutes. His season rating is 6.23, which makes clear that Hull are paying for a player they believe has more to give than he has been able to show at Everton.
That is also why this move matters for Hull. They are 11th in the current Premier League table, and this would be their 13th signing of the summer if it goes through. A club already moving aggressively in the market is now spending heavily on a midfielder with very little current Premier League exposure, which is a fair bet on upside.
Everton's deadline window
The sale would also take Everton into another piece of a crowded deadline week. They are ninth in the Premier League table after finishing 13th last season, and the club are juggling both incoming and outgoing business as the window closes.
BBC Sport also said Iliman Ndiaye's move to Manchester City is being treated as source-reported only, which fits the wider sense of late movement around Everton. The key point here is simpler: Hull have agreed the package, Iroegbunam has permission for a medical, and Tuesday night's deadline is now the next marker.
