Hull City Agree Deal With Eintracht Frankfurt for Jean-Matteo Bahoya

Hull City have agreed a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya, according to BBC Sport. The agreement does not yet make the transfer complete: the 21-year-old has been given permission to undergo a medical in East Yorkshire, and the report says he is understood to be open to joining Hull before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

Bahoya is a France Under-21 international who moved to Frankfurt from Angers in 2024. He has recorded seven goals and eight assists across 78 appearances for the German club. His time with Frankfurt has also included appearances in both the Champions League and Europa League, giving him experience in European competition before the proposed move to England. BBC Sport also noted that Bahoya had previously been linked with several Premier League clubs, although the report did not identify them or describe any competing offer.

Although Bahoya primarily operates on the left wing, BBC Sport reported that he can fill several attacking positions. His speed has been a prominent part of his profile in Germany: he holds the Bundesliga speed record after being measured at 23.09mph during a match against Bochum in 2025. Those details offer Hull another possible option across their forward line if the medical and remaining transfer steps are completed.

The winger could become Hull’s 13th signing of the summer window. The volume of arrivals reflects the club’s continued investment in the squad managed by Sergej Jakirovic following promotion. Any addition would join a group adapting to Premier League competition after Hull secured their place in the top flight through last season’s play-offs.

Hull have started their Premier League campaign with victories over Manchester United and Coventry City in their opening two matches. The proposed deal for Bahoya therefore comes while the promoted club has begun the season with two wins and continues reshaping its squad. No completed signing was announced in the BBC report, so the move remains dependent on the medical and the outstanding steps before the deadline.
