Hull City have secured the services of Manchester City striker Liam Delap on a season-long loan deal.
Delap will now join the Hull City squad following two stints in the Championship last season with Stoke City and Preston North End, contributing four goals in 38 appearances.
The 20-year-old forward has also played for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola and he has participated in six matches across four different competitions, featuring twice in the Premier League and FA Cup, and once in the EFL Cup and Champions League.
Hull City, led by Liam Rosenior, finished 15th in the previous season and aims to improve upon that performance.
Speaking to the club's media teams, head coach Liam Rosenior said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Liam is coming here. We’ve fought off a lot of competition from other Championship clubs and clubs around Europe. He’s someone I’ve known and been aware of for a long time.
“Liam completely fits into the way we play. He’s got outstanding physical attributes and is a great finisher. He’s got freak speed, is aggressive and can run in behind, which is one of the areas we wanted to address. He’s someone the fans will really enjoy watching.
“He’s had an amazing education and upbringing at Manchester City. In the right team that plays to his strengths, he can be a real asset and I believe he’ll be a real asset for us moving forward.”
