Hull City target return for highly-rated Swansea City defender

Hull City are reportedly weighing up a move to bring Swansea City defender Josh Tymon back to the MKM Stadium.

Born in Hull, Tymon joined the club's academy as a youth and went on to become the club's youngest-ever player ever to feature in the top flight when he started against Sunderland in November 2016.

Tymon would go on to make 12 appearances in all competitions that season before moving to Stoke City the following summer.

The former England youth international would go on to make 122 appearances for the Potters over the course of seven years before making the move to South Wales.

According to a report from the Swansea Independent, Hull are considering moving for Tymon this summer as Sergej Jakirovic looks to bolster his defensive options following promotion to the Premier League.

Tymon signed a new deal at Swansea last summer, tying him to the club until the summer of 2029.

The 27-year-old went on to feature in all but one of the club's Championship fixtures last season, netting once and contributing nine assists.

Ryan Giles was Hull City's main option on the left side of defence as they secured promotion via the play-offs, but injuries curtailed his campaign on multiple occasions and Jakirovic may opt to bring in reinforcements ahead of the new season.

Speaking following Hull's return to the top flight, owner Acun Ilicali claimed that the club will have a €250m war chest with which to sign new players this summer.
