Financial details were not disclosed although media reports have placed the figure paid by the Saudi club at around £6 million.

The Saudi League continues to attract top players as the government aims to take the nation's football to a new level.

Al Nassr's first game of the new season will be a feisty one, against Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq on August 14.
