Hull City’s pursuit of Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik has drawn criticism from former player Andy Robinson, who dismissed the club’s £10 million offer as inadequate. Swansea rejected the bid from Hull, who are managed by Sergej Jakirović. Robinson believes the valuation significantly underestimates the Slovenian international’s market value and contribution to the team.
Vipotnik’s credentials speak for themselves after a remarkable season in the Championship. The striker finished as the division’s leading scorer with 23 goals, demonstrating his importance to Swansea’s attacking setup. Robinson argued that a player of this calibre deserves substantially more recognition in the transfer market, suggesting a price range of between £20 million and £25 million would be more appropriate.
The striker featured in Swansea’s recent 2-1 victory at Stoke City, providing an assist for Joseph Opoku’s equaliser before being substituted in the second half. Despite Vipotnik’s injury concerns during pre-season, Robinson remains optimistic about the club’s prospects whether the player stays or departs. He highlighted Swansea’s solid financial position and the availability of alternative attacking options, including recent signings and squad depth, suggesting the Welsh side can compete effectively regardless of the transfer outcome.
