Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has provided a cryptic update on the club’s summer transfer business.
The Tigers are currently preparing for their first Premier League campaign in nine years.
Sergej Jakirovic’s side returned to the top-flight by beating Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final back in May.
Hull have since made three new signings, with goalkeeper Jack Butland the first to join the club.
Oscar Zambrano sealed a return to the MKM Stadium earlier this week, with Matt Targett also joining him in East Yorkshire.
Ilicali earlier promised fans four new additions before the end of week and has now handed supporters a fresh update on social media.
Ilicali’s transfer clues
The Turkish businessman shared a message along with clues over 11 potential signings who could follow Butland, Zambrano and Targett through the door.
In a post on X, he wrote: “We are reading dozens of false transfer rumours in many places.
“We are disturbed by the claims that we have been rejected and by the use of our club’s name to gain attention.
“We have been working intensively for two months. I believe we will build a team that we will all be proud of.
“To prevent false speculation and to give you more information, I am leaving you with our latest transfer situation, which includes some clues.”
Ilicali then added Hull’s three new signings as well as the flags and a percentage for a further 11 targets.
Of those teased by Ilicali, the closest to being completed is listed at 99 per cent alongside a Japan flag.
Hull are set to complete the signing of international midfielder Hidemasa Morita on a free transfer, talkSPORT understands.
The 31-year-old is available after leaving Sporting Lisbon at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, Ilicali has seemingly given the Tigers’ pursuit of Marco Pasalic an 80 per cent completion rate.
talkSPORT understands their move for the Croatia and Orlando City winger is progressing.
Hull have also registered an interest in Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey, who Ilicali has rated at 70 per cent complete alongside a Jamaica flag.
Embolo interest
A notable absence from the cryptic list, though, is Switzerland striker Breel Embolo.
Hull are one of several clubs considering a move for the 29-year-old, talkSPORT understands.
Fellow promoted outfit Ipswich Town and MLS side Atlanta United are also interested.
Meanwhile, several clubs in Serie A are amongst those weighing up signing the £12.8million-rated Rennes forward.
