It’s said he’s being loaned by Hull City until the ‘end of this season’, and that sounds like they’re speaking about the Brazilian season, which ends in December.

Estupiñán had already spent the first part of the season on loan, as he’d been playing for FC Metz. He only got six appearances for the French club, though, and ended up returning to England

Now it’s time to try his luck in South America.
