Moroccan midfielder Merouane Zemmama has been given permission by Hibernian to try and secure a season-long loan to UAE side Sl-Shaab."Merouane has three years of his contract to run with us but because of his family situation we did feel it best to allow him to move out on loan," manager Mixu Paatelainen told the club's official website.
"We want to support our players on and off the field and the situation Zouma finds himself in is quite a difficult one.
"It will be a chance for him to stay with his family and hopefully he and his family will come to Edinburgh later.
"I would of course rather have kept him here because he is a big player for us and a good footballer, but this I think is the best answer for everyone."
