The young Australian defender, World Cup revelation, joins Hull City for a record fee.
By Editorial team

Lucas Herrington, the youngest Australian to debut in a World Cup match, is set to join Hull City for approximately £12.6 million, with £4.4 million in add-ons. At 18 years old, he becomes the second most expensive Australian footballer in history. This transfer from Colorado Rapids sets a new record for the American club and puts Herrington on track to surpass Harry Souttar. His meteoric rise since the 2022 Qatar tournament would make him Australia's most expensive player very soon.
