Hull City-edging closer to ambitious signing of player previously scouted by Premier League clubs
Hull City are ‘edging closer’ to the signing of midfielder Oscar Zambrano from L.D.U Quito, according to a report by HullLive.
Hull City are working on a deal to lure the Ecuador youth international to England this summer. They are preparing for the start of the new Championship season under new boss Tim Walter.
Zambrano, 20, is being tipped for a bright future in the game. He was on the radar of Luton Town and AFC Bournemouth in the last January transfer window and has also been scouted by Manchester United and Brighton and Hove Albion, according to a report by the Daily Mail this past winter.
In this latest update regarding his future by HullLive, the Tigers are hoping to land his signature in an ambitious deal. They are in need of some reinforcements as they prepare for their opening day clash at home to Bristol City next Saturday. 
Hull City eyeing new midfielder
Zambrano could be seen by Hull City as a long-term option in the middle of the park.
Walter needs some more options in that department and the youngster would compete with Jean Michael Seri, Regan Slater and Xavier Simons if he was to join.
The Tigers have a void to fill following Tyler Morton’s return to Liverpool, whilst they also cut ties with Greg Docherty, who has since joined Charlton Athletic in League One.
Zambrano played for Colorados Jaipadida and América de Quito before linking up with L.D.U Quito.
He has since broken into their first-team and has made 58 appearances in all competitions to date, chipping in with a single goal.
The prospect helped his current team win the Liga Pro Ecuador Serie A and Copa Sudamericana last year.
What next for Hull City target?
Hull City will be hoping to get some deals over the line over the next few days.
They have had a quiet window so far, with only Ryan Giles and Cody Drameh coming through the door from Luton Town and Leeds United respectively.
The Tigers have two more friendlies to get through first against Fiorentina and Reading before their Bristol City match on 10th August.

Hull City boss closes in on reunion with Bundesliga midfielder
Hull City are said to be closing in on a deal to sign German midfielder Marvin Mehlem, according to reports from Hull Live.
Mehlem was recently left out of the SV Darmstadt team which faced Coventry City in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, sparking speculation that the midfielder’s seven-year stint at the Merck Stadion could be coming to an end.
The 26-year-old is a familiar face to new Hull City boss Tim Walter, who worked with Mehlem when he was a youngster with Karlsruher SC’s youth team. Mehlem, who represented Germany’s U19 team on 20 occasions is under contract until next summer, but Hull are confident they can reach an agreement imminently.
The German midfielder is believed to be keen to test himself in English football and sees Hull City as the perfect place to develop himself, after the club’s near-miss from the Championship play-offs last season.
