Hull City AFC, a Championship club, has set its sights on Anto Sekongo. The 23-year-old Ivorian defensive midfielder, currently under contract with USL Dunkerque in Ligue 2, has caught the attention of the northern England club. This information was confirmed over the weekend by several specialized media outlets. Hull City is looking to bolster its squad in the coming months as the 2026-2027 season approaches.

Anto Sekongo, a product of the ASEC Mimosas Academy, joined Dunkerque in 2023 after stints in Turkey and Belgium. Since his arrival in France, he has established himself as a key figure in Dunkerque’s midfield, posting strong statistics in terms of tackles and assists. His technical profile and versatility allow him to play as both a defensive midfielder and a deep-lying playmaker. Hull City, now competing in the Championship, could offer a multi-season contract to persuade the player and his current club. If the negotiations are successful, they would mark a new milestone for Sekongo, who dreams of playing in the Premier League. A shared ambition with his former club, ASEC Mimosas, which is banking on its young talents to shine on the African and international stage. For Hull City, this potential signing fits into a targeted strengthening strategy as English football’s second tier braces for a crucial season. The Tigers’ supporters will be closely following the progress of this possible arrival.
