Free, Moussa Dembélé should also join a Saudi club.

At the end of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Moussa Dembélé will not stay in Ligue 1. According to Le Parisien, the 27-year-old former Fulham and Celtic player will also join Saudi Arabia.

Dembélé would have reached an agreement with Al-Ettifaq. The seventh in the last Saudi league is now coached by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. Several Premier League players could join this club, such as Jordan Henderson or Michail Antonio.

Verbal agreement between Moussa Dembélé and Al-Ettifaq. Free since leaving Lyon, the striker has given the green light for a departure to Saudi Arabia. It’s going well #mercato @leparisiensport
