Hull City Eyes Loan Move for Nigerian Striker Isaac Success

Nigeria’s promising striker, Isaac Success, is reportedly on the radar of English Championship club Hull City, as the 21-year-old seeks increased playing time after finding himself lower down the pecking order at Watford. Success, who has not featured in Watford’s matchday squads for their initial two games of the season against Liverpool and Bournemouth, is now subject to potential interest from Hull City.

Hull City manager Leonid Slutsky is keen on bolstering his squad before the transfer window concludes, with the recruitment of a new striker being a top priority. This urgency has been heightened by the recent loss of Uruguayan forward Abel Hernandez, who is set to be sidelined for several months due to an Achilles injury.

Success, who arrived at Watford from Granada last summer in a record-breaking £12.5 million deal, previously held the distinction of being the club’s most expensive signing before the recent acquisition of Andre Gray from Burnley.

During his inaugural season in the Premier League, Success made 17 appearances, predominantly as a substitute, and scored one goal. However, his progress was hampered by injury setbacks.

The potential loan move to Hull City could offer Success the opportunity for more regular playing time, providing a platform for the young striker to further develop his skills and make a lasting impact on the pitch. Hull City’s interest in Success has generated anticipation among fans, as they await the resolution of this potential transfer in the final stretch of the window.
