After finishing a successful loan spell at Hull City, Geddo and Fathi returned to Ahli who were quick to announce they would listen to no offers for the Egypt pair this summer.

However, both players admitted that their ambition is beyond the short-term stint at the KC Stadium especially with Hull playing top-flight football next term.

“Of course (it is my dream to play in the Premier League,” striker Geddo, who will be out for three months after foot surgery, told Skysports.

“This is why I came to Hull. It was not my plan to play in the Championship but Hull have great ambition. I am here to be successful.

“Obviously I would like to stay, but that is not me to decide - I want to play in the Premier League and as I said I hope that is with Hull City.

He also added to Egyptian reporters: “Honestly, I wish I can stay with the Tigers next season and help them in their new mission after our promotion, which was fantastic.

“I want to share this feeling again in the Premier League.”

In the same manner, Fathi said: “I want another opportunity in the Premier League.

“Last time I was here I was just getting used to the language, the culture and the football but Sheffield were relegated. Now I want to go again.

“It has been a great experience and I would love to be part of this club being in the top-flight.”
