Hull City Close On Sheffield Wednesday Linked Star, Player Having Medical | OneFootball

Hull City are closing in on completing the capture of Sheffield Wednesday linked midfielder Gustavo Puerta.

The Tigers are bidding to strengthen before the transfer window closes and have suffered a number of damaging departures this summer, not least losing Jaden Philogene.

They are pushing forward with an effort to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Puerta, a player that Sheffield Wednesday have been keen on.

While the Owls ultimately did not make an offer for Puerta, Hull have an agreement in place with Leverkusen on a loan deal.

Puerta is now in England with his agent, according to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, and is undergoing a medical with the Tigers.

Hull will sign the Colombian on a season-long loan.

The deal though will also contain an obligation to buy based on certain conditions being met.

Puerta was a bit part player for Leverkusen last season as they won the Bundesliga title in style.
