The Jamaican international is moving from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia

After Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jack Hendry and Moussa Dembele, Steven Gerrard brings another player to Al-Ettifaq who has spent at least part of his career playing in Great Britain. This time, it is the former young England international, who chose to play for Jamaica this year, Demarai Gray.

The winger will arrive in Saudi Arabia for around 10,000,000 euros, write the English media and add that he will sign a four-year contract with Al-Ettifaq. The club from Liverpool accepted the offer, and the 27-year-old Gray has reportedly already undergone medical checks and the whole deal should be made official soon.

The former student, then the first team member of Birmingham, who became the champion of England with Leicester in 2016, and before coming to Everton in 2021, played briefly for Bayer Leverkusen, already at the beginning of the transfer window expressed his desire to leave the club a year before the contract expires. Given that he stood by his position, Everton did not want to have a disgruntled player in their ranks, and agreed to the transfer.

According to the well-known Athletic, Steven Gerrard played a big role in Gray's decision to move to Saudi Arabia.

The team lead by the former Liverpool captain has 10 points from the first five rounds of this season and is in fifth place, with three points less than the leading duo Al Hilal - Al Taawoun.
