OXFORD United have agreed a ‘deal in principle’ with Hull City for winger Ryan Longman, according to reports.
The 24-year-old will be allowed to leave the Tigers this month, but only once his current club find at least one replacement wide player, Hull Live have reported.
Longman began his career at Brighton & Hove Albion, joining AFC Wimbledon on loan in the 2020/21 season, when he scored nine goals in 52 appearances.
He then joined the Tigers on loan in Sky Bet Championship the following campaign, making the move permanent in January 2022, and scored five times in 36 games.

Longman joined Gary Rowett’s Millwall on loan for the 2023/24 season, with Rowett leaving the Lions by mutual consent in October 2023.
This season, Longman has scored once in nine Championship games for the Tigers, although a dislocated shoulder in pre-season ruled him out for three months, while he suffered a groin problem at the end of December.
Both Millwall and Derby County are said to have been interested in signing Longman last summer, but a move away from the MKM Stadium failed to materialise.
The U’s announced the signing of Millwall striker Tom Bradshaw this morning, following the earlier January arrivals of Ole Romeny from FC Utrecht for an undisclosed fee and Chelsea midfielder Alex Matos on loan.
