Hull City transfer news: Tigers waiting on two more signings, Swansea City leading race for midfielder

Hull City have made a decent start to the new Championship season and find themselves 6th in the table after five games.

They have lost once so far in the first month of the campaign after a hectic summer.

The Tigers delved into the transfer market again yesterday to sign attacking midfielder Salah Oulad M’Hand on a season-long loan from Arsenal to give them more competition and depth in forward areas.
