Recent Hull City arrival Ryan Longman has spoken out about his move from Brighton, after the Tigers fended off the likes of Barnsley and Nottingham Forest to the signing.
Longman, 20, spent last season on loan with AFC Wimbledon in League One. The Englishman scored eight goals form midfield across his 44 league appearances and has now joined Hull City on a season-long loan.
The Championship newcomers, who’ve recently been placed under a transfer embargo, fended of several Championship clubs to the signing including both Barnsley and Nottingham Forest.
Speaking to Hull Daily Mail about his move to the Humber, Longman said:
“I think I’ve spoken to about five or six clubs in recent weeks, but after speaking to [manager] Grant McCann and coming up to have a look around I was really impressed
“The way the gaffer presented his philosophies and how he is as a person just drew me in really and I was delighted to have the opportunity to sign here.”
Thoughts?
Longman is an exciting prospect and the Championship looks to be his level going into the new season.
The fact that he’s chosen a move to Hull and outed McCann’s influence goes to show the foundations at the club and how they’ve strengthened in the past 12 months.
Hull were relegated from the Championship last year and McCann was berated by fans. But after one impressive League One season which ended in promotion, the Tigers are back and look to have a much better chance of survival next season.
