David Akintola could leave Hull City in the next few days after being excluded from the club's 25-man squad for the remaining weeks of the season. The Nigerian winger has not been included in the past three matchday squads by Sergej Jakirovic amid interest from potential suitors. His opportunities would be increasingly limited at City following the arrivals of Lewis Koumas and Kieran Dowell, while the Tigers also continue to hope that Mo Belloumi could return in the final month of the campaign.

David Akintola has interest from the Turkish Super Lig and has turned down two potential moves in the past few days, but a return to Turkey is still possible. The Super Lig transfer window does not close until Friday, which provides the Nigerian winger time to assess his options. One of his options is to remain at the MKM Stadium and compete for his position in the team for the remaining 16 games of the Championship campaign. He consistently receives offers from Turkey because he has played there previously. Akintola has been told he can leave if he wants more regular football, which is something he cannot be guaranteed with Hull City as the club is attempting to gain promotion to the Premier League.

David Akintola is likely to be one of the late exits from Hull City in the final hours of the winter transfer window, after being omitted from Saturday's squad at Blackburn Rovers. The 30-year-old Nigerian winger is attracting interest from Turkey and a return to the Super Lig could happen. Akintola's future has been uncertain for a significant amount of time and there is a growing expectation that he will leave in the next few days. Though the deadline in England is 7pm on Monday night, the window does not close in Turkey until Friday, and therefore the club has more time to complete a potential deal. City's manager, Sergej Jakirovic, wants Akintola to stay and is keen to keep him in the squad, but he cannot be guaranteed regular playing time following the arrival of Lewis Koumas and Kieran Dowell. Akintola joined Hull City in August 2025 and is under contract until June 2027. In 20 Championship appearances this season, he has scored one goal and provided two assists. His market value is currently rated at €1.20m by Transfermarkt.
