Saudi Pro League signs Paris FC forward Alimami Gory and ex-Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye

Paris FC forward Alimami Gory is finalising a move to the Saudi Pro League, leaving the French Ligue 2 side as the league continues to recruit established European talent. The financial terms have not been disclosed, but the transfer reflects the Saudi clubs’ strategy of attracting experienced players from abroad.

Senegalese midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, 36, is set to join Saudi First‑Division side Al‑Diriyah after 236 appearances for Everton. His departure was highlighted by a tribute from teammate Iliman Ndiaye and underscores the growing trend of senior Premier League players moving to Saudi Arabia.

Both moves illustrate the Saudi Pro League’s expanding pull on players from European leagues, aiming to raise its competitive profile.
