Hull City are set to complete the signing of Roma forward Robinio Vaz today, according to Football Italia, in a move that could break the club's transfer record.
The prospective arrival of the French 19-year-old would represent one of the more eye-catching pieces of business of Hull's window. Vaz is described as very highly rated, and his switch from Roma would be viewed as a major coup for the Tigers as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
No final financial details have been confirmed in the report, but the suggestion that the package may set a new benchmark for Hull underlines the importance of the deal. For a club seeking to add quality and potential, securing a teenager from Roma would carry both immediate interest and long-term intrigue.
The timing also gives the move added significance, with the deal expected to be completed today. If finalised as reported, Vaz would arrive with a strong reputation but also with the usual challenge of adapting quickly to a new environment and proving that the sizeable investment can be justified on the pitch.
Hull supporters will await official confirmation, particularly because of the potential record-breaking nature of the transfer. Until the club announces the move, the precise structure of the agreement remains to be seen. However, the expectation is clear: Vaz is on course to leave Roma for Hull City, and the Tigers could be about to land a signing regarded as a significant statement.
