Chester amazed by Hull swoop for Hernandez

James Chester is amazed by Hull City's deal for Palermo striker Abel Hernandez.

Chester, 25, who signed from Manchester United three years ago, reckons the signing of Hernandez sends a message about where the club are.

He said: "I could never have imagined the club spending that amount of money on a single player.

"I've been here since 2011 and the turnaround in that time has been frightening. It's nice to be a part of.

"The owners have spent a lot of money this summer and have backed the manager.

"We have to get our focus back on the Premier League after the European disappointment - but the squad we have now is more than capable of staying up and competing.

"The aim now is to stay up and keep improving to become a sustainable Premier League club."
