Hull’s Bahoya deal collapses after player declines Premier move

Hull City’s pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya has ended without success. The BBC Sport reports the deal fell through after the player chose not to make the move to the Premier League side.

An agreement that didn’t land

According to the same outlet, Hull had struck a deal with the Bundesliga club and Bahoya was given the go-ahead to undergo a medical in East Yorkshire. However, the winger’s final call meant the transfer never progressed.

What Bahoya brings

Bahoya, a France Under-21 international, is 21 years old. Since joining Frankfurt in 2024 from Angers, he has contributed seven goals and eight assists in 78 appearances. He’s primarily a left winger, though he can operate across multiple attacking roles.

The BBC Sport also highlighted his speed: Bahoya holds the Bundesliga record after being clocked at 23.09 mph in a match against Bochum in 2025.

With the deal now off the table, Hull will miss out on what would have been their 13th signing of the summer. The next question is who the club targets now as it looks to finish shaping the squad for the Premier League season.
