Acun Ilicali: Hull City owner wants Premier League return following takeover

New Hull City owner Acun Ilicali wants to bring Premier League football back to East Yorkshire following his takeover of the Championship side.

The Turkish owner, whose Acun Medya Group has replaced the Allam family as custodians of the Tigers, met the media along with new boss Shota Arveladze.

Arveladze's appointment is Ilicali's first part of the plan for promotion.

"I'm here to achieve something that everybody would be very happy about," the 52-year-old said.

"In football, happiness comes from results. So the first thing [for Hull City] is good football, then results of course.
