Fulham and Hull City could fight it out for World Cup bound defender

According to Greek website Sdna.Gr, Olympiacos midfielder Ehsan Hajsafi is a target for Fulham and Hull City.

The 28 year old joined Olympiacos from Panionios last season and now there are reports linking him with a move to Fulham or Hull City.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s side were recently promoted to the Premier League via the playoffs and will be looking to strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

Hull City on the other hand will spend another season in the Championship, but they of course still have ambitions to get back to the top flight. It’s claimed Hull City have made the Iran international one of their prime targets this summer.

However, Fulham and Hull City may have to wait until after the World Cup to really try and get a deal done, with Hajsafi having other things on his mind right now.

Hajsafi is a 28-year old left back who can also operate as a left winger. The player is under contract with Olympiacos until 2021.

There’s likely something in this one, because linking an Iranian international to Hull and Fulham isn’t exactly an obvious work of imagination.
