FLW looks at those who could move on from the Tigers between now and Transfer Deadline Day
So far this window, the main talk surrounding Hull City has revolved around potential outgoings.
It was clear that new head coach, Tim Walter, would have some task on his hands after embarking on his first-ever season in the English game, but circumstances mean that the rebuilding job the German envisaged may be even greater.
Understandably, the 48-year-old perhaps knew what to expect after admitting that he'd cast an eye on developments in the Championship when his predecessor, Liam Rosenior, was in charge, after he himself was dismissed by Hamburg SV in February.
A number of players have already departed following the expiration of contracts and loan deals, whilst Jaden Philogene is set to follow Ozan Tufan and Jacob Greaves out of the exit door imminently.
With that in mind, here is a quartet of four more City players who could leave between now and the closing of the summer transfer window at 11PM on August 30th.
Beginning this quartet is left-back Ryan Giles, whose individual transfer window so far has been nothing short of bizarre.
Giles impressed on occasions under Rosenior on loan at the MKM Stadium last term, but didn't quite hit the heights expected following his initial loan move from Luton Town.
However, within that loan deal was a £4m obligation to buy, which was eventually ratified by the Tigers despite the change in management, as well as Middlesbrough's own desire to pursue a move for their former loanee.
But, since that permanent move, all the talk surrounding Giles hasn't been regarding how he fits into Walter's system, but that there are growing expectations of seeing the full-back re-unite with Michael Carrick at the Riverside Stadium, a deal that Acun Ilicali won't stand in the way of if Giles has his heart set on a move.
This would no doubt frustrate City supporters even more ahead of the new season.
Ryan Longman is another man who has been linked with an abundance of clubs in this summer window after spending last season on loan at Millwall.
Neil Harris has previously spoken about his desire to make a move for the Brighton and Hove Albion academy graduate permanent, whilst the likes of Birmingham City, Wrexham and Derby County have also been credited with interest in the 23-year-old.
Hull's stance on Longman's future has remained unchanged despite Walter's addition, although he has travelled with the squad for their training camp in Türkiye this pre-season.
It could be a case of City adding bodies to a depleted squad at this moment in time before Longman's exit is ratified, and all being well, the former loanee will be pursuing a new challenge well in advance of the transfer deadline.
In a similar vein to the aforementioned Longman, it was recently reported by Hull Live that Jason Lokilo's exit from the East Yorkshire side could have been ratified prior to the embarkation to Istanbul on Wednesday morning, however, that hasn't materialised.
The Belgian winger has gone down as a massively underwhelming signing since joining from Sparta Rotterdam last summer, only featuring in 21 games across all competitions, failing to showcase any end product until his strike in an FA Cup Third Round Replay defeat by Birmingham City in January.
Ironically, that was also Lokilo's last game in Black and Amber up to this point, with Rosenior sanctioning a temporary exit to Portuguese outfit FC Vizela, where the 25-year-old accumulated just one goal and assist in 10 Liga Portugal games as the club finished second-bottom and were relegated.
It would underwhelm plenty of supporters if Lokilo was part of the first-team plans under Walter having failed to make an impact and therefore utilising the chance to cash in and get his wages off the books after just one year is a smart move all things considered.
