Burnley and Sunderland are reportedly keen on Hamburg winger Nabil Bahoui.
According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Burnley and Sunderland are interested in signing Hamburg winger Nabil Bahoui during this month’s transfer window.
Bahoui, 25, became a wanted man after hitting 32 goals in 75 games for AIK in his native Sweden, but chose a move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli in 2015.

After just ten games, Bahoui moved back to Europe by signing for Bundesliga side Hamburg in February 2016, but he’s had a miserable time in Germany.
The powerful winger, who stands at 6ft 2in, has played just once this season, with just 67 minutes of action under his belt, and that came back in September having fallen out of favour with strugglers Hamburg.

Now, Bahoui is believed to be seeking first-team football, and Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet report that a move to England could be on the cards, with Burnley and Sunderland both believed to be keen.
AEK Athens and Las Palmas are also credited with an interest in signing Bahoui this month, with Hamburg unlikely to put up too much of a fight to keep him given his lack of playing time.
A strong wide man with an eye for goal, Bahoui could give Sunderland boss David Moyes another threat in the final third as the Black Cats look to stay in the Premier League, and whilst Moyes has virtually no money to spend in January, Bahoui shouldn’t break the bank.
Meanwhile, Burnley – who hammered Sunderland 4-1 on Saturday afternoon – may look to bring in one more attacking piece in January to try and make sure they avoid relegation, and Bahoui could fit the bill, even though Sean Dyche does have the likes of Scott Arfield, George Boyd and Johann Berg Gudmundsson at his disposal.
