The club's total spend on new signings this summer has been substantial, with Thomas joining from Stoke City for around £7.5 million plus potential add-ons that could push the fee near £10m. Thomas, a 27-year-old winger, has signed a four-year contract with the Tigers after impressing last season with 10 goals and 13 assists in 45 Championship appearances. Meanwhile, Mouzakitis, a 19-year-old midfielder, has completed his move from Olympiacos for a reported £13m fee. The Greek international has already made 39 appearances for Hull this season, featuring in all 10 of Olympiacos’ Champions League matches. A Greece international, Mouzakitis has 11 caps and was awarded the Golden Boy Web award in 2025.
