Overview
- Ipswich Town are pursuing a deal for the Hull City centre-back before the window closes, with West Ham also linked in reports.
- Manager Sergej Jakirovic says he will fight to keep Egan but accepts he cannot block a move if the player opts to leave.
- Egan extended his Hull contract late last year and is tied to the club until the summer of 2027.
- The veteran has made 26 league appearances this season and contributed to four clean sheets in Hull’s last eight matches.
- Hull plan to bring in defensive cover only if a sale happens, with Semi Ajayi out and recent signing Paddy McNair not yet match-fit.
