Hull City reached an agreement with Turkish midfielder Ozan Tufan on a three-year contract with a one-year extension option, the English football club confirmed on Friday.
“Hull City are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Ozan Tufan on a three-year deal from Turkish giants Fenerbahce, subject to obtaining a work permit,” Hull City said in a statement.
In a Twitter post, Fenerbahce thanked Ozan for his efforts and wished him the best in his professional career.
Tufan previously played for Türkiye’s Fenerbahce, Bursaspor, and Alanyaspor, and England’s Watford.
He returned to the Yellow-Canaries in February after Premier League club Watford terminated his loan contract.
The 27-year-old made 18 appearances for Watford, before coming to the Istanbul club for the second half of the 2021/22 season.
However, in March, Tufan was dropped from the Fenerbahce squad.
Tufan, who was part of Türkiye in the UEFA EURO 2016 and 2020, scored nine goals in 65 international caps for his nation.
Hull City finished the 2021-22 English Championship League season in the 19th spot with 51 points.
Tufan will become the first Turkish player to represent Hull City.
