Olympiacos goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis has emerged as a top target for Hull City this summer, who are working on a deal to beat off competition from elsewhere.
The 23-year-old Greek international is wanted by a host of Premier League clubs, all of whom are weighing up a move, but City believe they have a good chance of getting a deal done, with sources indicating he would be open to a move to the Premier League newboys.
Hull Live understands negotiations with the Athens-based outfit are well underway, and it's hoped progress can be made quickly in a bid to get an eye-catching deal completed.
Tzolakis is under contract in Piraeus until next summer, and it’s thought the Greek giants would be open to doing a deal for a player who has played 131 times for the club, boasting vast experience playing domestically and in Europe.
A regular for Oly, Tzolakis has European experience, having played in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.

Last term, he played in 43 games for Olympiacos, with nine of those coming in the Champions League.
A four-time Greek champion, Tzolakis has also won the Conference League with the club owned by Nottingham Forest chief Evangelos Marinakis, and was named goalkeeper of the season in 2024/25. Capped nine times by his country, Tzolakis has played in World Cup qualifiers as well as the Nations League and four friendlies.
Bringing in another goalkeeper has been one of City’s key priorities this summer. Jack Butland has already arrived, and the Tigers are keen to bring in top-quality competition for the 33-year-old, having seen him join and number one Ivor Pandur go in the opposite direction to Rangers.
Getting a deal over the line for Tzolakis would represent a significant coup for City, who are working on a number of signings and hope to have a couple of new additions over the next 10 days, in addition to Oscar Zambrano.
One of those is set to be Swedish winger Elliot Stroud, who is joining from Mjallby in a deal thought to be in the region of £3m.
