Chelsea's Michael Hector joins Hull City on loan

The Jamaican centre-back spent last season on loan in the Bundesliga but will spend 2017-18 in the Championship with Leonid Slutsky's side

Championship club Hull City have confirmed the arrival of Chelsea defender Michael Hector on a season-long loan.

The centre-back, who spent last season in the Bundesliga at Eintracht Frankfurt, joins Chelsea right-back Ola Aina at the KCOM Stadium.

Further players could make the move from Stamford Bridge due to the strong relationship between Hull's Russian coach Leonid Slutsky and his compatriot Roman Abramovich, Chelsea's owner.

"When I found out that Hull were interested in taking me on loan, it was an easy decision to make," said Jamaica international Hector.
