  • Ahmed Elmohamady: On the move?

    Egypt international Ahmed Elmohamady is considering leaving Hull City in January and has offers from several Premier League clubs, including Swansea and Leicester City.

    Elmohamady, 27, has been in England since moving from Egyptian side ENPPI to Sunderland in 2010. He joined Hull City – first on loan and then in a permanent switch – in 2012.

    After suffering relegation with the Tigers last season, though, Elmohamady is keen to test himself at a higher level and is ready to leave the KC Stadium.  

    He has been linked with a move back to Egypt with Cairo giants Al Ahly, but a source close to the player has told Sport360 that he is keen to stay in England and has offers from a number of clubs.

    “The player is expected to leave Hull in January," the source told Sport360. "Several offers from mid-table Premier League clubs have been received like Swansea and Leicester, who are interested in Ahmed because of his experience. 

    "He prefers to continue his English journey and is open to any other European country, but will not go back to Egypt.”

    There is still a chance Elmohamady will stay at the KC Stadium, but it is dependent on whether Hull – currently second in the Championship table – are still in contention for an immediate return to the Premier League in January.

    Elmohamady has more Premier League appearances than any other Arab player, having played a combined 137 games in the division.
