The Premier League club have completed a double swoop for Jozy Altidore and Seyi Olofinjana।
Hull City's official website has confirmed that the Tigers have completed the double capture of Seyi Olofinjana and Jozy Altidore.
Villarreal striker Altidore has joined Hull on a season-long loan, subject to him being granted a work permit.
The American international has scored seven goals for his country, including in the semi-final of this year's Confederations Cup against Euro 2008 winners Spain.
Altidore, who will hold the No. 9 shirt for the Tigers this term, could be bought by Phil Brown's side at the end of the season as they have the option to buy the 19-year-old on a permanent basis.
Meanwhile, Nigerian midfielder Olofinjana has signed on at the KC Stadium from Premier League rivals Stoke City in a £3 million deal.
The 29-year-old, who made 21 appearances for the Potters last season, has agreed a four-year contract with the Tigers and will wear the No. 44 shirt.
It had appeared that the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star was on his way to France to join Ligue 1 giants Monaco, but the Nigerian international snubbed the opportunity to move abroad and has instead opted to stay in England with Hull.
