Liverpool winger Nabil El Zhar has joined Greek club PAOK on a season-long loan.
The Morocco international was only a bit-part player under Benitez, arriving on Merseyside from St Etienne in 2006 but playing only 32 times.
El Zhar, 24, has not featured at all for Hodgson since he took over.
Reserve team midfielder Vincent Weijl has completed a transfer to SD Eibar.
