Carvalho signed for RB Leipzig on loan in the summer, but struggled for game time in Germany.

After a half-season spent on the bench, Carvalho has been recalled and is being loaned to the Championship club instead.

Carvalho has flattered to deceive since moving to Liverpool from Fulham in the summer of 2022.

Hull's owner, Acun Ilcal, told Sky Sports: "We agreed all terms with him. I'm very happy to say he's going to wear the Hull shirt.

"It's almost done. The announcement has to be done, that's all. The club will do it."
