Hull City sign defender Omar Elabdelluoui on loan

Hull City have completed the signing of Olympiacos defender Omar Elabdellaoui on loan until the end of the season.

The news comes following the departure of Jake Livermore to West Bromwich Albion this morning and represents manager Marco Silva's third signing of the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old underwent a medical at the KCOM Stadium yesterday and the transfer was first announced by his parent club on Twitter this morning.

The move reunites Elabdellaoui with Silva, who served as manager of the Greek side last season before quitting last summer.

The deal is worth around £600,000, according to reports in the Greek press, and is thought to include an option to buy this summer.
