Olympiacos defender Omar Elabdellaoui watched by five Premier League clubs

Former Manchester City defender Omar Elabdellaoui is attracting Premier League interest.

Leicester, Aston Villa, Watford, Bournemouth and Burnley are among the sides monitoring Olympiacos and Norway's attacking right-back Elabdellaoui, says the Daily Mail.

The 27 year-old, who has captained both club and country, will be a free agent when his contract with the Greek giants expire next summer.

And interest in Elabdellaoui, who can also play as a right-winger, is mounting with his foreign suitors aware they can sign him on a pre-contract agreement from January 1.

Elabdellaoui shone again in Norway's 1-1 draw against Spain on Friday, winning the injury time penalty Bournemouth' Josh King converted to earn his side a point.
