Hull City have added some experience to their squad ahead of their first top-flight season since 2016-17 with Jack Butland's signing. The post Butland becomes Hull’s first signing since Premier League return appeared first on SoccerNews.
Hull City need to bring in players who can compete at Premier League level, says former Tigers player Peter Swan. "Most of the squad are Championship players," Swan told BBC Radio Humberside. Jack Butland became Hull's first signing of the summer on Thursday, but before the news broke, Swan already believed it would be a perfect example of improving on what they had.
Hull City have made goalkeeper Jack Butland their first signing of the summer. The 33-year-old has arrived from Rangers for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract, with the option of an additional 12 months. The nine-time England international has spent time in the Premier League across spells with Stoke City and Crystal Palace.
Jack Butland has posted a farewell message to Rangers fans, with the goalkeeper expected to depart to Hull City following the arrival of Croatian Ivor Pandur. After three years and more than 150 appearances for the club, the former England international says the Ibrox support have created "lifelong Rangers fans" within the Butland family.
Stevie Clifford from Rangers podcast 4 Lads Had A Dream has told BBC Radio Humberside that Jack Butland is a "fantastic goalkeeper" but he is surprised Hull City are reportedly set to pay a significant amount for him as part of a deal involving Ivor Pandur moving the other way. As the season goes on, there are question marks over Jack's form - but when Jack Butland is on his game, you're getting a very confident and very able shot-stopping goalkeeper.
Croatia goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is on the cusp of joining Rangers in a £6m transfer from Hull City, with Ibrox number one Jack Butland heading in the opposite direction, after the club promoted to the Premier League were forced into player sales to comply with Financial Fair Play rules. Ivor Pandur has undergone a medical while in the United States with Croatia's World Cup squad as the 26-year-old prepares to sign for Rangers for £6m from Hull City, with fellow goalkeeper Jack Butland moving in the opposite direction.
