According to reports from Sweden earlier this week, Hull City and other clubs were preparing a move for Viktor Johansson. Hull Live understands a transfer for him is extremely unlikely at this stage.

Hull City, Aston Villa, and Ipswich Town, all Premier League clubs, are interested in signing 27-year-old Swedish goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. Hull City and Ipswich Town are newly-promoted. However, a potential transfer for the goalkeeper is reportedly dependent on other goalkeeper movements at the interested clubs in the coming weeks. Johansson recently signed a new contract with Stoke City until 2030, which could allow the club to ask for a significant fee if multiple clubs bid for him. He has 12 caps for Sweden and made 25 appearances in the Championship in the 2025/2026 season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €12.00m.
