What happened. Hull City confirmed the signing of defender Nobel Mendy from Rayo Vallecano for a club record fee, surpassing the £20m paid for Konstantinos Tzolakis earlier this month.

Mendy signed a five-year contract with an option for a further year.
The 21-year-old scored twice in 28 La Liga games last season.
He played in the Conference League final, losing to Crystal Palace.

“I have wanted to play in the Premier League since I was little, so it's a great challenge to face and I am ready for it.”
