On his way to Hull.....

Doesn't seem to have settled anywhere and hasn't set the world alight wherever he as tuned up. He'll be on a free, as he was released from his contract with Sparta Rotterdam.
-
Officially signed today by Hull. They ended up paying a fee for him. Two year deal.
-
Saw him playing a lot for Sparta. He wasn’t quite Eredivisie level.
-
Think he is on his way out of Hull. Just been loaned out to FC Vizela, second from bottom in Portuguese Primeira Liga.
-
Hull have sold him, off to CSKA Sofia. They finished second in the First League regular season last year.

You wonder about the players like Lokilo who just appear to be commodities being shunted anywhere and everywhere around Europe. They must dread the transfer windows and you wonder how can they settle anywhere? A pro footballers life isn't always glamorous.
The cynic in me also wonders, particularly with multi club ownership, players are being trafficked just to satisfy financial rules (getting wages off the books etc)

Think his dad’s his agent and will just go wherever he gets looked after best.
At the end of the day it’s a fairly short career, maximise the earnings.
