Two Premier League stars heading to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Pro League clubs showed interest in Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) and Richarlison (Tottenham) during the January transfer window.

Sancho, who was left out of the first team after his public row with United manager Erik ten Hag, has not played for the club in any competition since the game against Nottingham Forest in August. THE Telegraph reports that the Saudi Pro League could offer him an escape route.

According to the report, the Middle East league is working on its finances in order to submit big bids for Sancho and Tottenham flop Richarlison in the next window.

The Brazilian striker has struggled since joining the club last summer. Since the start of the season, he has only scored two goals in 11 matches in all competitions. The number 9 was recently dropped by Brazil for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.
