Hull City and Norwich City Enter Race for Venezuelan Starlet Luis Fernando Carrero
Hull City and Norwich City have reportedly joined the race to sign teenage Venezuelan sensation Luis Fernando Carrero, according to TEAMtalk. Both Championship clubs are keeping a close watch on Carrero, who has gained recognition in his homeland as a talented left-footed winger but is also capable of operating as a midfielder or in the number 10 role.
However, Hull and Norwich are likely to face stiff competition for Carrero’s signature, with several European clubs also expressing interest in the promising 18-year-old. The Tigers and Canaries seem to be planning ahead for next season, with Norwich’s chances of securing a playoff spot dwindling and Hull still battling to maintain their Championship status, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
Carrero, who plays for Deportivo Táchira, is under contract until December 2026 but is reportedly open to a move to Europe this summer. His impressive performances have attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League, La Liga, and the Portuguese Liga, making Hull and Norwich potential outsiders in the race for his signature.
Hull and Norwich Face an Uphill Battle to Land Carrero
While the Championship could provide an excellent platform for Carrero to further develop his game, the allure of top European leagues may prove too strong to resist. With higher-profile clubs offering a faster route to global recognition, Hull and Norwich may find it difficult to convince Carrero to commit to the second tier of English football.
Nonetheless, there remains a possibility that Carrero could end up in the Championship if a larger club opts to loan him out after securing his services. While a permanent move to Hull or Norwich seems unlikely, the Venezuelan’s talent and creativity could still benefit either club if they manage to bring him in temporarily, potentially boosting their standing in the division next season.
