is now reporting that Kessie has agreed a three-year contract with Al-Ahli. And he is set to earn a massive pay-rise in the Kingdom.

A fee still needs to be agreed. But it would appear that the two clubs may not be that far away.

The news will disappoint a number of Tottenham fans. Kessie has previously been an outstanding performer, particularly during his time at AC Milan. He helped the Rossoneri win the Scudetto in 2022.

His time with Barca had not exactly got going. But the fact that the likes of Spurs and Juventus were keen on a deal highlighted that he is still a very talented midfielder.

He is a ‘‘ player with a lot of time to get his career back on track. However, it would appear increasingly likely that Kessie is going to snub interest from Tottenham and Juve and instead become one of the latest players to head to Saudi Arabia.
