What happened. Lucas Herrington is reportedly close to joining newly-promoted Premier League side Hull City for a fee of around £12.6m plus add-ons, making him the second-most expensive Australian player ever.

• Fee would set a new selling record for Colorado Rapids.
• Herrington recently became the youngest Australian to start at a men's World Cup.
• Deal eclipses Hull's previous record signing of Ryan Mason.

If completed, the move would trail only Harry Souttar's transfer to Leicester as the biggest in Australian football history.
