His representative, Ferhat Cifci, has claimed that there is interest in Hamad from other countries in Europe, but that the player would prefer a move to England.

"There are four clubs in England's Premier League who are showing great interest in Jiloan," he told told Sky Sports News.

"There is also interest from clubs in Germany and France, but Jiloan's first choice is to play in the Premier League.

"He is a free agent in January and he is one of the best Bosman signings around and we are working on that at this time."

Hamad, who has been capped six times at international level, has scored 11 goals in 28 appearances while captaining his native club this season.
