Outstanding” – Hull City urged to take advantage of summer transfer option
FLW’s Hull City fan pundit has discussed the possibility of Ryan Giles signing for the club on a permanent basis this summer
Ryan Giles joined Hull City in the January transfer window from Luton Town.
The full-back has cemented himself as a key part of Liam Rosenior’s side since arriving in the winter market.
The 24-year-old has featured six times in the Championship already and has contributed one assist (all stats from Fbref).
The Tigers negotiated an option-to-buy clause as part of the deal to sign Giles, although it remains to be seen how much that will cost the Championship side.
As the Yorkshire outfit battles for promotion to the Premier League, Rosenior will have a decision to make over the long-term future of the player.
Hull City fan pundit makes Ryan Giles transfer claim
FLW’s Hull fan pundit Ant Northgraves believes that the club should be doing everything they can to ensure this deal goes through given the impact he’s already made to the team.
He has claimed that Giles seems happy and settled at the MKM Stadium and that a permanent move in the summer would make a lot of sense for all parties.
“Absolutely, City fans love Ryan Giles and I feel like he loves being here,” Northgraves told Football League World.
“His social media presence, talking to the fans, the way he interacts with the behind the scenes cameras, the fans at the stadium.
“It clearly feels like he’s found a place that he can settle.
“I think we’ve got an option to buy in the summer.
“I’d definitely be signing him permanently because he has been outstanding since coming into the side.
“He’s given them something of a more natural left-back on the pitch, rather than playing Greaves out of position, or something like that.
“He’s already popped up with an assist or two, so he’s really helped the team get a natural balance and look a lot more effective going forward.
