Hull City have said they intend to appeal against the transfer embargo they have been placed under that would mean they would not be able to pay a fee for a player until January 2027.
There are concerns over the club’s finances after they were late making transfer payments to Aston Villa for the loan of winger Louie Barry last season.
That debt has now been settled but the delay was too long for the English Football League.
In confirming both the embargo and their intention to appeal against it, the club said they “are confident of resolving the matter as soon as possible”.
BBC Radio Humberside understands the club owe money to a number of additional creditors, including other clubs for previous transfers.
