According to experts Florian Plettenberg of bz and Sky, the striker is expected to cost Hull City €22 million, with bonuses potentially raising the fee to €24 million. Hull City is eager to secure Ansah's services, and once he completes his medical, the forward is expected to sign a contract with the Premier League club until 2031.
