Hull City have been urged to complete the signing of Westerlo striker Matija Frigan, who has been on the Tigers' radar this summer, despite their transfer embargo.

The Yorkshire club have been banned from spending any fees on players for the next three transfer windows after multiple breaches of the EFL's financial rulings, having failed to pay loan fees last season.

This has left the club limited as to what it can expect to do in the transfer market, with just loans and free agents available to Hull, which has come as a bitter blow to supporters.

However, top target Frigan is still believed to be on the radar of the Tigers, as the club anticipate a U-turn on their transfer embargo, and could still land the Croatian attacker this summer.

Hull City urged to seal Matija Frigan deal despite transfer embargo

Football League World spoke to their resident Hull fan pundit, Cameron Gibson, and asked him who his dream signing would be this summer for the Tigers, despite the current scenario at the club.

Cameron responded: "Matija Frigan, at Westerlo, we've been rumoured throughout the summer to be interested in signing him.

"We were going to be signing a deal with quite a large transfer fee at the end of the loan deal, but it looks likely that with the current scenario, it's probably going to be a standard loan deal with no obligation to buy at the end of it.

"His season in Belgium has already started, and he's already scored a cracking goal using his left foot. He's got a wand of a left foot. Coming in off the right-hand side, he loves to beat a man and dribble past players, using his ability.

"If [Abu] Kamara moves to Portsmouth, there are a few deals later on in the window I think we're still looking to do with players out.

"Frigan could be massive for us - I know he's in a division that isn't typically known for being a high standard in the Belgian league, but watching him and seeing his highlights on YouTube, he does look like a special talent, so let's see what happens," he concluded.

Hull City satisfied with the depth of their squad elsewhere

Cameron also touched on the depth of the Hull squad in other positions, and was pretty happy with what the Tigers have got so far, with just one concern caused by an injury to defender Lewie Coyle.

He continued: "I think everywhere else within the team we are pretty strong, it's just the forward areas now that I want us to add some real quality to.

"We could do with a bit more experience, a few more options. I think with Coyle being injured, maybe at full-back. We could potentially get a right or left back in or even both.

"But if I had to choose one player [to sign] between now and the end of the window, it would be Frigan."

Despite the ongoing crisis behind the scenes at the former Premier League club, City find themselves in a much better place in comparison to the other embargoed Championship outfit in Sheffield Wednesday.

Hull remain confident about getting their transfer restrictions lifted, which will give new boss Sergej Jakirović a much better chance of securing Frigan, as a permanent deal could then be explored.
