Fulham and Hull City are among the clubs said to be tracking the Greek defender.

Fulham are leading Hull City and a host of English sides in the chase for Greek defender Dimitrios Chatziisaias, according to the Sun.

Chatziisaias has impressed during a loan spell with Atromitos and is due back at parent club PAOK, where he has a year left on his contract.

The Sun reports the 25-year-old is keen to try his luck abroad, however, and has caught the eye with his ability on the ball – belying his powerful 6ft 4in frame.

The newspaper adds that Fulham, who face Aston Villa in Saturday’s Championship play-off final, are looking at players who can do a job whichever division they are in next season – and in securing promotion to the Premier League they could see off Hull’s challenge entirely.

Tomas Kalas of Fulham holds off Bobby Reid of Bristol City during the Sky Bet Championship match between Fulham and Bristol City at Craven Cottage on October 31, 2017 in London, England.

Fulham could lose Tomas Kalas when his temporary deal expires this summer, while Michael Dawson looks likely to leave Hull for Nottingham Forest after reaching the end of his contract.

Chatziisaias has yet to be capped by Greece, but was called up to their latest squad.

Would Chatziisaias be a good addition for Fulham / Hull City?
