Ilyas Ansah to Join Hull City for €22 Million
Ilyas Ansah, a 21-year-old forward, is poised to transfer to the newly promoted Premier League team Hull City for a reported fee of €22 million, according to Bild. On Wednesday morning, he visited Union Berlin’s Stadion An der Alten Försterei to bid farewell to his teammates before being driven to the airport by two friends, loaded with personal items.
Ansah arrived at Union Berlin from Paderborn for €4 million in July 2025. He made an impressive start by scoring four goals in his first four Bundesliga appearances, but he only managed to find the back of the net once in the subsequent 29 matches. Throughout his career, he has appeared 12 times for the German U20 team, scoring five goals, and has played six matches for the U21 side, where he netted once.
This transfer will represent the highest fee ever received by Union Berlin. The club previously earned €20.5 million from Nottingham Forest for Taiwo Awoniyi in 2022 and received a fee for Benedict Hollerbach from Mainz last summer.
