West Ham United defender Arthur Masuaku has taken to Twitter to congratulate former teammate Omar Elabdellaoui on his loan move to Hull City.
Masuaku is currently on the sidelines through injury having joined the Hammers for £6.5 million in the summer.
But he is still active on Twitter and took to the social networking site to congratulate his old Olympiakos teammate Elabdellaoui after new Tigers Marco Silva made the right back his third signing since taking charge.
Masuaku and Norwegian Elabdellaoui, 25, played on opposite sides of the defence together at the Greek giants.

Now both are plying their trade in the Premier League and both players are happy.
“Happy to sign with Hull,” Elabdellaoui posted on Twitter.
“Excited and focused for the challenge ahead.”
And Masuaku responded: “Congratulations bro.”
West Ham United’s Arthur Masuaku
Silva, and Hull fans, will be hoping their new 25-year-old defender has a better start to life in the English top flight than Masuaku.
The French left back actually looked promising on his debut but has endured a torrid time ever since.
His most recent showings against Manchester United and Arsenal sandwiched by knee injuries saw Slaven Bilic‘s side side ship eight goals in 90 minutes of football with him at left back.
And who can forget his showing in the defeat at West Bromwich Albion where his bizarre handball in the box set the ball rolling on a thrashing.
Masuaku has been pillared by Hammers fans and pundits, some of whom believe he should be shipped out already.
But the defender deserves another chance to prove himself and supporters must remember he is just 23 years old – the same age as the man on the opposite flank to him at West Ham, Sam Byram.
