The Senegal international has followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante by opting to play in the lucrative Saudi Pro League. The 32-year-old center back only spent a year at Chelsea after signing from Napoli last summer on a four-year contract. Financial details of the Saudi deal were not revealed. Al-Hilal is Saudi’s most successful team. It also recently signed Portugal international Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton.
