Hull and Spurs agree Ryan Mason fee

Sky Sports sources are reporting that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Ryan Mason has caught Sunderland’s attention, as newly promoted Premier League side Hull City looks to take him off the London side’s books.

Hull did not specify how much they had paid for the 25-year-old, but they were reported to have spent 10 million pounds ($13.1 million, 11.7 million euros) on previous record signing Abel Hernandez in 2014.

“The start the club has made to the season just goes to show the strength of character there is here”.

Having progressed through the youth system at Spurs, Mason made his senior debut at the age of 17 before going on to have loan spells with Yeovil Town, Doncaster Rovers, Millwall, Leyton Orient and Swindon Town.

Injuries played a major role, but also having a revitalized Mousa Dembélé in the starting XI made it hard for Ryan Mason to contribute much as a starter. It was pretty straightforward and I was excited.

“A massive thank you to everyone at Spurs the last 18 years, especially the coaches and players”, Mason wrote on his official Instagram page.

“I’m coming to my peak but my goal is to get in the Hull team and then anything can happen”, he said. “I spoke with the gaffer a few times and it felt right for me to move on”.

Ryan Mason will play alongside former Tottenham players Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore.

Injuries restricted Mason to eight league appearances for Spurs last season and the England global has not featured under Mauricio Pochettino in the new campaign.

“Having spoken to the people up here, I didn’t need any convincing”, said Marshall.
