Multiple Premier League clubs are hoping for interest from Saudi Arabia’s football league this summer to boost their squads. The opportunity to offload ageing players for good fees, and bring in better players for attractive sums, is appealing to clubs facing financial constraints. Cash injections from Saudi Arabia could help ease worries and improve squad strength.
