Fulham and Hull City battling it out for Greek defender

Fulham and Hull City are interested in signing PAOK defender Dimitros Chatziisaias, according to The Sun.

The 25-year-old has impressed this season on loan at Greek side Atromitos from PAOK and is being targeted by Fulham and Hull City.

The Cottagers play Aston Villa tomorrow at Wembley at Wembley Stadium for a place in the Premier League. Their manager, Slavisa Jokanovic, sees Chatziisaias as someone who could bolster his defence for next season. PAOK could be willing to sell him as he only has a year left on his contract there.

Fulham will have to face competition for his signature from Hull City. The Championship side are looking for transfer targets for the summer as they look to move up the table in the next campaign. The Tigers have key players like Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo, Seb Larsson and Abel Hernandez out of contract next month and could lose them on free transfers.

Therefore, they are in the hunt for potential replacements. As well as Chatziisaias, Hull have also recently been linked with Nottingham Forest defender Eric Lichaj and Scunthorpe United winger Hakeeb Adelakun.

Chatziisaias had spells in Greece with Vataniakos, Glyfada, Chania and Panionios before he was snapped up by PAOK in 2016 for €1 million. However, he fell down the pecking order there and was loaned out to Atromitos for this season.

The 6ft 4inc defender could be handed an escape route out of PAOK this summer by Hull City or Fulham.
