Hull City have signed goalkeeper, Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos for an undisclosed club-record fee.
Tzolakis’ arrival on Humberside comes after seven seasons at Olympiacos where he came through their youth academy to achieve 64 clean sheets in 131 total senior appearances, and helped them win the 2023-24 UEFA Conference League title.
He also helped them to four Super League Greece titles alongside two Greek Football Cup honours and one Greek Super Cup trophy throughout his time at Olympiacos.

“I am very happy to be here. It’s a big honour to join Hull City. I am ready for a new chapter in my career.
“I met all the players and staff in Türkiye, and I thank them for the warm welcome.
“With Olympiacos, I had a successful career with a Conference League title, championship and a cup, also European games and Champions League.
“Hull City is something different because we are playing in the Premier League. We have to fight against top players, so it’s a challenge for me.
“I feel ready. I will give everything I have every single day in training to help our team to achieve its goals.
“I’m excited to be in England. I wanted to come to Hull City because the Premier League is the top stage.
