Stoke City, Charlton Athletic, Millwall & Preston eyeing 24-year-old | OneFootball

Stoke, Charlton, Millwall and Preston are all keen on Hull City's Cody Drameh, who is open to leaving the Tigers in January.

Stoke City, Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Preston North End are all keen on Hull City defender Cody Drameh, who would be keen on leaving the club for more game time.

The 24-year-old joined the Tigers on a free transfer in the summer of 2024 after leaving Leeds United, and he has gone on to make over 40 appearances for the club.

However, he has struggled to nail down a place in the XI under Sergej Jakirovic, with club captain Lewie Coyle ahead of him in the pecking order.

Cody Drameh attracting transfer interest from Stoke, Charlton, Millwall and Preston

Therefore, it has been reported by the Sky Sports Transfer Centre (10:23) that a January move could be on the cards for Drameh.

They explain that Stoke, Charton, Millwall and Preston have all expressed an interest in the player, who is about to enter the final 18 months of his contract with Hull.

The update adds that Drameh is open to leaving the Tigers as he looks to get more regular first-team football, whilst Hull are also open to an exit due to his contract situation, as they know his value will reduce drastically over the next few windows as they risk losing him on a free.

So, even though no fee was mentioned, it would seem all parties are open to doing a deal in the New Year, although Hull will hope the competition for Drameh’s signature can help drive the price.

Cody Drameh may need Hull City departure to get his career back on track

Drameh has been highly-rated since he joined Leeds as a youngster, but, in truth, he hasn’t gone on to fulfil the potential that many thought he had.

That’s not to say he hasn’t had a good career so far, and it’s worth remembering he played a part in helping Luton Town reach the Premier League, in what was a great achievement.

Plus, he has done well for Hull, but the reality is that he isn’t in the best XI, and that will be hugely frustrating for Drameh, who knows he needs to be playing week in, week out at this stage of his career.

Given his pedigree, you can understand why there is plenty of Championship interest, but it would be risky for Hull to let Drameh go considering they are battling to win promotion.

But, they will have their own January transfer plans, and it will be very interesting to see how it plays out.

From a football perspective though, the chance to leave Hull and to play regularly elsewhere is going to appeal, so it would be no surprise if a move did go through in the next month.
