'Hull need more players' - the view from tour

[Getty Images] BBC Radio Humberside's Mike White is out in Turkey for Hull City's pre-season. Speaking to his followers on X, White observed part of training and said: "No additional new signings outside of what they've already got. There's only one actually active and that's goalkeeper Jack Butland. Hidemasa Morita and Matt Targett - neither of those are fully fit to take part in training. Morita is dealing with an injury alongside everything else. They're hoping him and Targett can be involved soon. Charlie Hughes is dealing with recovery from a double hernia operation. It looks like it's still making him a doubt for that opening game against Manchester United."

One thing that's for certain looking at these players right now, they need numbers not just for the sake of it, it has to be quality. Fans are understandably getting a bit concerned, whilst we're here we'll try find out as much as we can. "Regan Slater, Hull are looking to offer him a new deal. He's in his option year now going into this season, everyone involved wants to get him committed and tied down for a much longer period. He'll want his opportunity in the Premier League, and would want to do it you'd think with that bit of stability - a longer term contract in his pocket."
