Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have been linked with a highly-rated Hull City star
Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis is reportedly being monitored by Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
The 23-year-old only joined the Tigers in the summer transfer window, sealing a move from Olympiacos in his native Greece for a reported £20m.
He has made a promising start to life in the Premier League, helping Hull defy expectations and lose just one of their opening five games.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are also thought to have spent time monitoring the development of the highly-rated goalkeeper.
No move is believed to be imminent - nor are Hull expected to make it easy for interested parties - but Tzolakis is reportedly catching the eye.
Konstantinos Tzolakis’ fresh start in the Premier League
Earlier this month, regarding his adaptation to life in England’s top flight, Tzolakis said: “When you play in the Greek league and go directly to the Premier League, it's different so you have to adapt as soon as possible.
“The speed, some rules at the corners, it's different. But until now, I didn't find any difficulties. When you play for Hull City, you don't have too much pressure.

“Last year, [Senne] Lammens at Manchester United played very well, and probably no one expected him to play straight away. But if you go directly to Manchester United, for example, and you made a mistake, you have a big pressure. Here it's not the same. If you made a mistake, you have 35 games to take points.
“When you play for Olympiacos, you have pressure to win every game and your target is to take the championship. Here, our target is to stay in the league.
“So if we take one point against Chelsea, it's very good for us. But you're not happy with one point at Olympiacos.”
