Jakirović confirmed that he personally wanted to bring Arbër Hoxha to Hull City this summer, but they were prevented due to an embargo. Considering Hoxha's existing contract with Dinamo, he was unable to join. Jakirović stated that this says enough about what he thinks of him. The move did not happen due to bureaucracy.

Arber Hoxha is someone Jakirović wants to bring to Yorkshire after his time at Dinamo. English media report that one million euros might be enough to complete the transfer. Jakirović was keen on bringing Hoxha during his previous tenure at Kayserispor. Hoxha played an important role in Jakirović's successful stint at Maksimir, notably scoring against Rijeka in a 2-1 victory.

Hull City could move for Dinamo Zagreb winger Arbër Hoxha if Sergej Jakirović is confirmed as their new manager. Jakirović, who brought Hoxha to Dinamo and remains a strong admirer, is close to taking over at Hull. Dinamo are open to selling the 26-year-old this summer, and a transfer could follow swiftly if Jakirović’s appointment goes through. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 1.50 million euros.
