Hull City chairman Paul Duffen has confirmed they're signing permanently on-loan defender Kamil Zayatte.

After agreeing a fee for the Guinean international with Swiss side Young Boys, the 23-year old will become a permanent signing in January.

Hull chairman Paul Duffen told BBC Radio Humberside: "We have an exclusive option to buy [Kamil Zayatte] at an agreed price.

"Given the nature of his performances and his potential, it's a bargain."

Zayatte has impressed with his assured performances in a Hull side that has excelled in the Premier League and are currently third in the table.

And Duffen added Zayatte has been a welcome addition to the set-up at the KC Stadium.

"I'm delighted with him, he's a lovely lad and he's fitting in well with the rest of the squad so he's a good find," he said.
