Hull City should be aware of the movements of three players who could help them during their current financial situation.
Hull City’s pre-season preparations have been somewhat derailed in the past few days after it emerged that the club had been placed under a three-window transfer embargo.
The punishment of the embargo was blamed on Hull City owner Acun Ilicali by fans, with many showing their disappointment for the lapse in judgment in such an issue occurring.
Despite still being under embargo, the silver lining is that Hull City can now sign free agents and loan players, which they were initially unable to do.
As a result, Ilicali will be keeping a close eye on the free agents market, with three names standing out in the pack.
Hull City should target deal for Sheffield Wednesday star Barry Bannan
It would be a difficult deal for Hull City to pursue because of Barry Bannan’s love for Sheffield Wednesday, but if the issues regarding Dejphon Chansiri are not resolved, he may have to look elsewhere for his next club.
Bannan is now a free agent due to the club not being in a financially viable position to offer him a contract, which should give Hull City the urge to pounce on the Scotsman.
Because of Bannan’s ambitions of continuing in the Championship, as well as the likely desire not to have to relocate, a move to Hull City could tempt the Sheffield Wednesday legend.

Acun Ilicali could plot an ambitious move for Tyrhys Dolan
Like the majority of Championship clubs, it would be no surprise to see Hull City sniffing around at the potential signing of free agent Tyrhys Dolan.
After a brilliant Championship campaign with Blackburn Rovers notching 13 goal contributions across 44 matches, he has the ability to transform Hull, who would especially need someone of Dolan’s calibre due to their issues in front of goal last season.
Such a deal would be difficult for Acun Ilicali to seal, with Dolan keen on a move abroad, but a significant financial package regarding wages could potentially turn the 23-year-old’s head.
A move should be made for experienced midfielder Jonjo Shelvey
During Hull City’s pre-season preparations, Jonjo Shelvey has been training with the club.
There is a reported interest from the club to attain Shelvey’s services for the upcoming season, which will have been heightened given the situation that Hull City find themselves in.
Whilst not a starting midfielder who is going to transform Sergej Jakirovic’s side, Hull City would benefit massively from his experience and the leadership he can add to the dressing room.
As a potential super-sub, Shelvey would offer a lot to the Tigers, and could definitely become a key part of Jakirovic’s plans if Acun Ilicali does make a move on the experienced former England international.
