The 24-year-old Portuguese attacker is not having a good time in the Saudi Pro League. He has been enable to feature in the League games because of rules that limit more than eight foreign players from playing in the domestic league. He had just managed to play just three games in the last two months in AFC Champions League. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou knew the ability of the young player when he was the manager of the Scottish side Celtic where the striker scored 28 goals and gave 26 assists. I doubt if Tottenham Hotspur will be able to get this loan deal because Al Ittihad has the financial resources and the player is an important part of the team. The English side is doing everything possible to revitalize the team after its performance depreciated due to injury woes.
After the exploits of the Saudi Pro League in the last transfer market I no longer doubt the capacity of the clubs. With money and other incentives, any player can be attracted to the League. Lukaku might not come to Saudi but Salah might consider coming maybe because of other reasons. Europe might be a prestigious league but we have seen how top players left the league and moved to SPL. Players like Modric have won almost everything both as a team and as an individual. If he has no good offer in Europe, I think he might consider moving to the Saudi Arabia league to make more money before retirement.
