Defender Nobel Mendy says he is "ready" for the challenge of the Premier League, after completing his move to Hull City from Rayo Vallecano for an undisclosed club-record fee.
The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal until the summer of 2031, with the option of a further year.
Mendy made his first senior Senegal appearance in March 2026 and featured 28 times for Rayo Vallecano last season.
Speaking to club media, Mendy said: "I am very happy to be here and very proud to be here as well.
"I am a very athletic player, and I am a defender at heart. I also really enjoy the game and coming out from the back cleanly and aggressively when needed.
"I have wanted to play in the Premier League since I was little, so it's a great challenge to face and I am ready for it.
"This season is going to be a good season, and we will all be in it together."
After Hull break their club record again, what do you make of the latest summer recruit? Are these signings giving you hope for the coming season back in the top flight?
