Kamel Ghilas
1 of the duo signings, along with Stephen Hunt signed by Hull City, had arrived days before the new season. Hull City signed Algerian striker Kamel Ghilas from Celta de Vigo at a reported fee of £1.7m. He should be able to boost the amount of goals scored for Hull City after last season’s average of only a goal per game. He was linked to Blackburn as Santa Cruz’s replacement before eventually being hijacked by Hull.

Stephen Hunt
It cost Hull City £3 millions to sign him from Reading. After a few good seasons with Reading, returning to the English Premier League with Hull City is a refreshing change for the winger. He is known for his footwork and creative, along with his work rate as a winger to run across the field with endless stamina. He would probably be developed into a playmaker for the team.

Both of these players will likely be featured in their opening match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Can Hull City displayed a repeat of their last season with tremendous results for the first 10 matches? The pressure falls on the shoulders of both these players now.
