Dutch coach Mark Wotte would not object to selling Benjelloun, given that he has three other strikers at his disposal in Ahmed Ali, Mohsen Abou-Greisha and Nigerian Ndubuisi Godwin.

Ismaili have already opened talks with Benjelloun's representatives to reach an agreement over his January departure.

The 25-year-old joined Ismaili in the close season after his contract with Scottish side Hibernian expired but hardly made an impact.

He made few substitute appearances, with Wotte often preferring to field Ali and Godwin upfront.
