Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic stated that the club's deal for Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is uncertain due to an abductor injury sustained by the player. Jakirovic, speaking after a match against OGC Nice, mentioned the injury could sideline Iroegbunam for at least six weeks. He expressed the need for new players, particularly in Iroegbunam's position, as time is of the essence. The club may explore signing alternative players to bolster their squad quickly. Additionally, Jakirovic indicated interest in three right backs and a desire for another striker option before next weekend.
