Two clubs want Zoomer, a French club, and a not so unfamiliar foe!!

According to an Arabic football site, Hibs are about to be contacted about the availability of Moroccan magician, Merouane Zemmama, by two clubs.

French side Valenciennes are said to be very interested in the little midfielder, but are unsure as to how much Hibs would want for the player.

Belgian giants Anderlecht have already been scared off by Hibs asking price, thought to be in the region of £2m, but Valenciennes could possibly match that figure after surviving relegation from the French top flight.

The other interested club that is interested in the 25-year-old is, shock horror, Celtic!

Zemmama's agent has apparently already been in contact with Celtic manager, and former Hibs boss, Tony Mowbray, who enticed the player to Edinburgh.

"Zoomer" still has two years left on his contract at Easter Road, and has spent the last year on loan in the United Arab Emirates, following visa problems on entering the UK for his new wife.

Hibs allowed the player to go out on loan, so he could spend time with his new wife, and his new born baby.

Let's hope Zoomer shows some loyalty to the club after they helped him in his hour of need.
