Hull City have completed the signing of defender Omar Elabdellaoui on loan from Olympiakos, Sky sources understand.

Sky Sports News HQ reported earlier this month that the Tigers were interested in the 25-year-old right-back.

New Hull manager Marco Silva has been keen to add to his squad this month but has needed to sell Jake Livermore for £10m to raise funds for new recruits.

Elabdellaoui has made 56 appearances for the current Greek Super League leaders but only three this season.
