Hull City handed transfer embargo until January 2027

Hull City have been handed a transfer embargo for three transfer windows – which means they will not be able to pay a fee for a player until January 2027.

There are concerns over the club’s finances after they were late making transfer payments to Aston Villa for the loan of winger Louie Barry last season.

That debt has now been settled but the delay was too long for the English Football League, who are set to confirm the Championship club’s transfer ban on Friday.

City do have a right to appeal against the decision but BBC Radio Humberside understands the club owe money to a number of additional creditors, including other clubs for previous transfers.

BBC Radio Humberside have approached Hull City for a comment.
