Hull City have completed the biggest signing in the club's history by securing the services of Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos.
The 23-year-old Greece international has signed a contract until the summer of 2031, with Hull confirming that the transfer is the most expensive in the club's history.
The arrival represents a major boost for head coach Sergej Jakirović as Hull continue strengthening their squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
A champion arrives from Greece
Tzolakis spent his entire professional career with Olympiacos after making his senior debut in 2020.
During his time with the Greek giants, he made 131 appearances and kept an impressive 64 clean sheets.
His trophy collection includes four Greek league titles, the Greek Cup, the Greek Super Cup and the UEFA Conference League.
The goalkeeper enjoyed an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, playing every minute of Olympiacos' league season and recording 23 clean sheets in 43 matches across all competitions.
International experience
Tzolakis made his debut for the Greece national team in 2024 and has already earned nine international caps.
His performances have established him as one of the country's brightest goalkeeping talents.
"A great honour"
After completing his move to England, Tzolakis expressed his excitement about the next chapter of his career.
" It's a great honour to come to Hull City. The Premier League is the biggest stage, and I'm ready to do my best to help the team," he said.
The Greek goalkeeper has already joined Hull's squad at their training camp in Turkey, where Jakirović is preparing his players for the start of the new season.
With the club investing a record fee in their new No. 1, Hull are making it clear they intend to compete aggressively after securing promotion to the Premier League.
