The transfer market continues to burn as Saudi Arabia has been snapping up more and more stars from European football. What began with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo at the start of the year has taken off in earnest with dozens of transfers confirmed in recent weeks.
Saudi Arabia's top teams have virtually unlimited wallets and are thus attracting stars from the old continent. But high-profile coaches are also arriving, such as Steven Gerrard, who will take charge of Al-Ettifaq. To that end, the former Liverpool midfielder is looking to strengthen his new squad in the best way possible.
In recent days it was confirmed that Jordan Henderson, also of the Reds, will play under him next season. The English midfielder's move to the Saudi Professional League is still to be finalised. While that is still to be finalised, it emerged on Monday that Gerrard will have his second big summer signing in Moussa Dembele.
The former Olympique Marseille striker will arrive with his pass in his possession and will sign a contract until 2027 after medical examinations, as detailed by Fabrizio Romano. The 27-year-old striker leaves the French club after a poor season with three goals in 28 games, which contrasts with the 22 goals in 36 games of his first campaign. It should be recalled that Dembele was recently linked with Liverpool following interest from Jurgen Klopp.
