Saliakas returns as Tzolakis nears the door

Saliakas is back

Olympiacos have completed the signing of Manolis Saliakas. The Greek right-back pushed hard for the move, and his desire to return made it happen (1). The 27-year-old bolsters Mendilibar's defensive options as the squad takes shape in the Netherlands.

Hull lead the race for Tzolakis

Konstantis Tzolakis is edging toward the exit. Hull City are in pole position to sign the goalkeeper, with Aston Villa, Brighton, Leeds, and Coventry also monitoring the situation (2). No deal is done yet, but Hull are the team to beat.

José Sá lined up as replacement

If Tzolakis goes, Olympiacos already have a name in mind: José Sá. Wolves were relegated and Sá is the priority target to fill the void (2). The Portuguese keeper knows the club well, he made 83 appearances for Olympiacos before moving to England.
