Hull City are close to an agreement with Roma for striker Robinio Vaz.

The deal for Vaz will be a season-long loan, for a fee of €2million, with a €30million option to buy. Hull are working to finalise the deal with Roma and Vaz.

The 19-year-old joined Roma from Marseille in January, having previously scored four goals in 14 Ligue 1 appearances during the first half of the season.

Vaz then featured 12 times off the bench in Serie A for Roma, scoring once. He previously played for Ligue 2 side Sochaux before joining Marseille in 2024 and has represented France up to under-20 level.

Hull have had an active transfer window on their return to the Premier League, bringing in 10 first-team players. They have already added to their forward ranks with the signing of striker Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United and winger Elliot Stroud from AIF.

Ollie McBurnie, who scored 17 Championship goals in 37 appearances in Hull’s promotion-winning season last term, started up front during their Premier League opener, Saturday’s 2-0 win over Manchester United, flanked by Stroud and Mohamed Belloumi.
