Hull City pursues loan deal for Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo

Summary

Hull City has entered the competition to sign Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo on loan for the 2026-27 season. Chelsea is open to loan offers for the 21-year-old, who has struggled to secure a starting position since his arrival. Essugo faced a serious thigh injury that sidelined him for a significant portion of the previous season. The club's recent signings have decreased his chances of playing, prompting the decision to seek a loan. Hull is among the interested clubs, although competition for the midfielder includes Strasbourg, with Chelsea preferring to send him to a Premier League team.
