Hull City is urged to sign Chris Willock, a QPR star, to a transfer.
With just two victories in their previous nine games, the Tigers are currently six points behind Norwich City in seventh place. Importantly, Hull does have a game coming up that offers them some hope.
In January, Liam Rosenior’s team made some excellent additions to their roster, including players who might have been signed by larger teams. Seven players were brought in, including Ryan Giles, Anass Zaroury, and Fabio Carvalho, who were on loan from Burnley, Luton Town, and Liverpool, respectively.
However, Hull’s owner Alun Ilcali will undoubtedly support the manager once more ahead of what appears to be a busy summer with many loan players expected to return to their parent clubs. In the end, though, they might not live up to expectations.
Our fan pundit Ant Northgraves, who spoke exclusively to FLW, stated that Hull should be considering signing Chris Willock of Queens Park Rangers in the summer.
“I really think we should go after Chris Willock,” he stated. One of the star players at QPR, right up there with Ilias Chair, to be sure. We tried to sign him permanently in January, but we were unable to close the deal because of how closely we are working with FFP right now.
We will need depth at the wing position, and players like Anass Zaroury will be returning to their parent clubs, so I would be shocked if we did not make another run at him in the summer.
Now, (Jaden) Philogene and Abdul Omur will be our primary wingers, with Jason Lokilo as a backup and Harry Vaughan. However, Vaughan is still very young and inexperienced; he likely needs a few loan stints to gain more playing time, and Lokilo may have demonstrated that he is not good enough for this level. As a result, we will need a player who can step up in the event of an injury, suspension, or slump in the other layers and provide competition.
“So yeah, Chris Willock is a really good player, and I would really like us to go after him.”
Hull may have made a very wise and astute signing in Willock.
Zaroury’s return to Burnley and Philogene’s reported departure with Premier League clubs have left Hull without much depth on the wings, as was previously mentioned.
While Lokilo was loaned out to Portugal in January after failing to make an impression in the first half of the season, Vaughan is expected to be moved on loan.
He has demonstrated his ability at this level for several years and, at just 26, he still has a lot to offer at the championship level.
Hull could find Willock to be a less expensive option. In the summer, his contract is scheduled to expire.
