Saudi Arabia have launched themselves as major players in the transfer market after forking out millions on Europe’s top stars – as well as some more obscure talents
Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema, Mahrez, Kessie, Mane, Fabinho, Firmino, Milinkovic-Savic, Malcolm, Neves, Kante, Koulibaly, Laporte, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Saint-Maximinâ¦and Max Power.
âUnderneath the star names that have catapulted the Saudi Pro League onto the football world stage, there is also a different level of player like Power, who made his name at Wigan and Sunderland.
âThe midfielder became a free agent in the summer, and despite offers from several Championship clubs alongside an interesting one from Wrexham, he chose instead to join Robbie Fowler’s Al Qadsiah.
âThey are a level below the Pro League, but despite a poor campaign last season, are a club with big ambitions and a new, big name manager in Fowler, which explains Power’s decision to turn his back on English football.
