Hull sign German forward Ansah from Union Berlin

Hull City have signed forward Ilyas Ansah on a five-year deal from Bundesliga side Union Berlin. The Germany Under-21 international joins the Tigers for a reported fee of 15m euros (£12.8m) with 12m euros (£10.2m) in add-ons. He becomes Hull's 13th signing of the summer, with the club having won their first two matches since returning to the Premier League after a nine-year absence.

It's a dream come true for me to play in the Premier League, and for such a big club – it's really an honour for me," Ansah said. "I have heard a lot about the club, the players and the team, and I'm excited to play with the boys and to get to know them. "I'm definitely a player who always gives his best and leaves it all on the pitch." The 6ft 4in forward, who turns 22 in November, scored five goals in 36 matches in all competitions for Union Berlin last term.

Hull also look set to sign Tim Iroegbunam after agreeing a £22m package for the Everton midfielder. Follow live coverage of transfer deadline day Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page
