Jakirovic provides Hull City transfer update as Robins reacts to interest in Thomas | OneFootball

Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic expects the club to make two more signings before the transfer window closes, but admits he does not know who they will be.

Jakirovic was asked about the Tigers’ interest in Stoke City winger Sorba Thomas after Thomas featured in his side’s Carabao Cup defeat to Hull on Tuesday night.

“I was on the touchline,” he told Hull Live. “I don’t have a mobile phone with me, so thank God I’m rested for two hours. There’s no news. I don’t know. You know better than me.

“Ali Cho, Ansah, Sorba Thomas, we are linked with 200 players. Every player who is existing, he’s linked with us.

“I know everything about Sorba Thomas from the Championship, he’s a difference maker, and he’s a very good player, and that’s it.

“From what I know, two [new arrivals]. I just don’t know who.”

Stoke boss Mark Robins, meanwhile, says he has been expecting Thomas to attract widespread interest after an impressive campaign last season.

“If people aren’t interested in Sorba Thomas, then they’re mental,” Robins said.

“The fact is that he had the highest output of any winger in the division last season, scored 10 goals, 13 goals he created, 23 goal involvements, and that’s something he can even surpass.

“I’d be shocked if people weren’t keen on him, but he’s our player, and he’s doing pretty well for us.”
