Hull City given transfer hope after update on West Brom EURO 2024 star

Trabzonspor have not agreed a fee with West Brom for Okay Yokuslu, despite reports.

Reports in Turkey over the weekend said that a deal between West Brom and Yokuslu's former club Trabzonspor was in the 'final stages' and that an agreement had been made, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. The future of 43-cap Turkey international is up in the air, but as of now, he remains a Baggies players.

Isci Haber, another Turkish news outlet have reported that Trabzonspor have agreed personal terms with the central midfielder, but negotiations are still on going with the West Brom over the transfer fee. He is under contract until the summer of 2025, and WBA had entertained the idea about extending his contract, but now his future might lie away from the Hawthorns.

The 30-year-old has been subject to a large amount of transfer speculation with the saga taking many twists and turns. Trabzonspor were first interested, but then it emerged that they moved on for him. Besiktas was then a possible destination, with their transfer chief admitting talks had taken place, but then added there was 'zero' chance of it happening.

West Brom's Championship rivals Hull City, who are owned by Turkish millionaire Acun Medya, then registered their interest. Tigers chairman Acun Ilicali and vice-chairman Tan Kesler both admitted they were fans of Yokuslu, and admitted he was on their transfer shortlist.

Hull like Besiktas and Trabzonspor are aware of West Brom's negotiating position on Yokuslu. They want to recoup some of the money they paid for him, but Kesler admitted if they set the demands too high, then they would move on.
