Mohammed Abdellaoue heading to Stuttgart

Hannover president Martin Kind has said that he will grant Mohammed Abdellaoue's wish to join Stuttgart.

The Norwegian international has been in talks with the Reds after scoring eight goals in 26 appearances in the Bundesliga this season.

Kind said that 27-year-old is keen on linking up with Bruno Labbadia's squad.

"Stuttgart may as well start counting on having Abdellaoue," Sky Sports News quotes Kind as saying.

"We know that he wants to go to Stuttgart and we want to fulfil his wish too.

"He can rely on [Stuttgart director of sport] Fredi Bobic for that."

Abdellaoue was linked with a move to Swansea City last summer.
