Hull City sign Joe Gelhardt and Lucas Gourna-Douath
Hull City have completed a double signing, bringing in English forward Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United and French midfielder Lucas Gourna‑Douath from Red Bull Salzburg on undisclosed fees. The Championship club announced the deals on Tuesday, with both players expected to add depth to the squad as the season progresses.
Gelhardt, who has scored 21 goals in the Premier League for Leeds, will provide an attacking option on the wing or as a central striker. Gourna‑Douath, a product of the Red Bull academy, is known for his versatility in midfield and his ability to link play between defence and attack. Hull’s manager said the additions were aimed at strengthening the squad for a challenging campaign.
The club confirmed that both players will join on multi‑year contracts, with the signings completed ahead of the transfer deadline. Hull City will now look to integrate Gelhardt and Gourna‑Douath into their lineup as they push for promotion from the Championship.
