Hull City have set their sights on AS Monaco’s 22-year-old midfielder Eliot Matazo, aiming to bolster their midfield options this January, according to transfer insider Sacha Tavolieri.
A product of Monaco’s academy, Matazo has struggled for regular first-team action this season, competing with high-profile names such as Denis Zakaria and promising talents like Lamine Camara and Soungoutou Magassa. Limited to just seven appearances across all competitions, including two starts, the Belgian youth international finds himself on the fringes at the Ligue 1 side.
Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro recently confirmed the club’s openness to player departures this month, signaling potential exits for out-of-favour talents like Matazo. Tavolieri reports that Hull City have made an initial enquiry about the midfielder, though no formal offer has been presented to Monaco or the player yet.
With Hull City aiming to reinforce their squad for a promotion push, the interest in Matazo is one to watch. The coming days could see the Championship club intensify their pursuit, potentially securing a deal for the talented youngster.
