Hull City signs Óscar Zambrano on permanent deal from Maribor

Summary

Hull City has finalized the permanent transfer of Ecuador international Óscar Zambrano from Slovenian club Maribor. The 22-year-old defensive midfielder has signed a four-year contract with the option for an additional year. He previously spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Hull, during which he made eight appearances and scored once. Zambrano's career faced a setback due to a suspension for anti-doping violations, but he returned to action with Maribor last November following a reduced ban. This move comes as Hull aims to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
