But Ilicali is “disturbed” and unhappy by media reports that Hull have been rejected for other targets. Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! The Hull owner therefore took the unique approach yesterday (THU) of posting a cryptic shortlist on social media of the club’s transfer targets. Butland, Targett and Zambrano were all listed with a green tick by them, but underneath were 11 unnamed players. Ilicali used flag emojis and percentages as clues for fans, with several matching of them players that Hull are after. Target No4 was listed as a Japan flag with 99 per cent by it and is likely a nod to midfielder Hidemasa Morita being set to join as a free agent. There was also a Greek flag that indicated a huge deal is “90%” done – and that is surely for Olympiacos’ highly-rated goalkeeper Konstantis Tzolakis, who SunSport understands is set to move to the MKM Stadium for £17m once his club find a new No1. Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ilicali wrote: “We are reading dozens of false transfer rumors in many places.
