Newly-promoted Hull City have made enquiries regarding the availability of Al Shabab's English midfielder Josh Brownhill, who is a target for a return to English football. The Saudi club is reportedly exploring ways to balance its finances after signing Thomas Partey, viewing the 30-year-old former Burnley captain as a sellable asset. Hull believe his Premier League experience and leadership would be an ideal addition for their top-flight campaign. However, they are not the only club interested, as West Ham United are also contenders and have a long-standing interest, particularly as they assess midfield options with James Ward-Prowse expected to leave. Sources also indicate that Coventry City manager Frank Lampard is a long-term admirer of Brownhill. Furthermore, Birmingham City, Southampton, Wrexham, and Wolves are all monitoring the situation and would be interested if Al Shabab becomes open to negotiations. Brownhill joined Al-Shabab in September 2025, and his contract runs until June 2027. His current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m.
