TRANSFER WRANGLE PUTS CITY DEALS AT RISK

TIGERS COULD LOSE PUERTA AND LAALAOUI DUE TO FEE BAN

- By JAMES SMAILES

HULL City have opened discussions with the EFL over the signing of two players as the club seek answers amid fears of the transfers falling through.

City have signed Gustavo Puerta and Reda Laalaoui, with both agreeing long terms deals at the MKM Stadium.

While the deals were announced weeks ago, the transfers were not registered with the EFL as the contracts did not start until July 1.

The Mail has had it confirmed that these deals remain unregistered at present and in effect have not been completed, with neither player officially a Hull City player as it stands.
