CONFIRMED: Hull sign defender Omar Elabdellaoui from Olympiacos

Hull have confirmed the loan signing of defender Omar Elabdellaoui from Greek side Olympiacos.

Right-back Elabdellaoui, 25, who worked under Tigers head coach Marco Silva at Olympiacos last season, will stay at the KCOM Stadium until the end of the current campaign.

The Norway international, Silva's third new signing at Hull since he replaced Mike Phelan on January 5, could make his debut in Saturday's Premier League game at Chelsea.

"We haven't been able to play with a natural right-back since I arrived here and so it is a position we needed to find a solution for," Silva told the club's official website.
