Described as “the Egyptian Beckham,” he first signed for Sunderland on loan in the summer of 2010.

He impressed Steve Bruce so much in a trial at the club that he made a move for the wing-back and secured a season-long loan from ENPPI, with the option to buy for £2m the season after.

During his first campaign under Bruce, he impressed and Sunderland took up the option to sign him permanently. However, following the departure of boss Bruce in 2011, Elmo found himself out of favour.

With Bruce taking over at Hull City, the Egyptian made a move to be reunited with his former boss on loan.

Two successful loan spells later and Elmohamady was a Hull City player permanently.

Since then, the wing-back has gone on to make 192 appearances for Hull, scoring 11 goals.
