According to Flash,gr, reported Burnley, Southampton and Leicester City target Omar Elabdellaoui is pricing himself out of a new deal with Olympiakos.

The experienced right-back is out of contract with Olympiakos this summer.

According to SDNA Burnley, Southampton and Leicester are all keen on the soon-to-be free-agent.

Elabdellaoui has spent the last six years in Greece with Olympiakos. He has helped the club to three Super League titles. But the Norway international is yet to agree a new contract and his situation has seemingly alerted Premier League clubs.

Elabdellaoui was once on the books of Manchester City. He also had a spell at Hull City, while his latest exploits on English soil saw Olympiakos dramatically knock Arsenal out of the Europa League.

Southampton are likely to be on the lookout for a new right-back this summer as Kyle Walker-Peters is only on loan while Cedric Soares heads for an exit.

Burnley may be looking for a long-term replacement for Phil Bardsley, with the 34-year-old’s future with the Clarets uncertain.

Leicester, meanwhile, may seek an alternative to Ricardo Pereira in the upcoming window as the Foxes right-back suffered an ACL injury.

The Premier League trio’s chances of signing Elabdellaoui appears to have increased as the player and Olympiakos are said to be far apart economically over a new deal.

Flash.gr claim Elabdellaoui wants more than £17,000 per week.
