Hull City have signed Uruguay striker Abel Hernandez from Palermo for a club-record fee, thought to be £10m. The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal, which the Tigers have the option of extending for a further 12 months. Hernandez, Hulls seventh major signing of the summer, has scored seven goals in 14 matches for Uruguay and made two appearances at the 2014 Fifa World Cup. Hulls previous record transfer outlay was the £8m they paid Tottenham for midfielder Jake Livermore in June. Tigers boss Steve Bruce said: Abel is a fantastic signing and highlights just how far the club has come in such a short space of time. He is an exciting talent and, like myself, Im sure the supporters cant wait to see him in action. Hernandez, who scored 14 goals in 28 appearances to help Palermo win promotion to Italys Serie A last season, arrives following the £12m sale of Shane Long to Southampton. His signing takes Hulls summer spending beyond £30m.
