  "account": "Hull City is set to sign French winger Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, according to GFFN and Fabrizio Romano. The club reached an agreement in principle with Eintracht Frankfurt for the 21-year-old player, whose decision to join Hull now rests solely with him. Although he has interest from other clubs like Everton, Bahoya has proven to be a versatile and capable forward, demonstrating his ability to adapt to various roles as a left winger and across the front line.\n\nDuring his first full season at Frankfurt from 2024, Bahoya made 33 appearances, scoring three goals and providing four assists, and in the subsequent 2025-26 season, he featured 37 times, with four goals and four assists. His performances show solid development, availability, and trust from coaches in a competitive environment. Additionally, Bahoya has five appearances for France's Under-21 national team, further emphasizing his international recognition.\n\nThe move signals Hull City's serious intent in the transfer market, as the club has put itself in a strong position to acquire a promising young talent. With Bahoya's contract running until 2029, Hull is targeting a player with upside, a strong academy background at Angers, and France's youth representation. His experience in a top European league like Frankfurt provides the platform needed for him to thrive in the Premier League.\n\nFor Hull fans, this signing brings excitement and hope for the future, as the club demonstrates ambition and a long-term vision. The decision to pursue a player with resale potential and immediate impact highlights Hull's commitment to building a competitive squad that can grow in value and contribute immediately. The agreement in principle with Frankfurt, rather than mere speculation, demonstrates Hull's decisive action and avoidance of a prolonged, speculative transfer process.",
