Former Hull City loanee Omar Elabdellaoui is a target for a number of English and foreign clubs, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the player.

Elabdellaoui, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Hull, is currently back at Greek side Olympiakos after the end of his loan at the KCOM Stadium.

The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at Olympiakos, but has yet to be offered a new deal, alerting several clubs to his possible availability this summer.

Norway international Elabdellaoui made nine appearances for Hull during his loan stint at the club and he would have figured more only for injury.

Hull have expressed an interest in bringing Elabdellaoui in, but the right-back is keeping his options open amid interest from other clubs across Europe.

Portuguese side Sporting Clube de Portugal and La Liga outfit Real Betis are both interested in signing Elabdellaoui, while several Premier League sides are also monitoring the defender’s situation at Olympiakos.

Elabdellaoui was on the bench for their Champions League qualifier with Partizan Belgrade earlier this week, but it remains to be seen if he will be a regular starter for the Greek giants this season.
