Team News: 21 French foreign players in the Saudi league account for 11.1%, second only to Brazilian foreign players

According to the "Team News", among the foreign players in the Saudi League, there are 21 French players, second only to Brazilian players.

The summer transfer period of the Saudi League ended on September 11. There are 189 foreign players in the Saudi League this season, including 21 French foreign players, accounting for 11.1% of the total foreign players, ranking second, second only to Brazilian foreign players (27 people).

In the past, the Saudi league was regarded as a retirement league, and it is not surprising that French veterans such as Benzema and Kant went to Saudi Arabia to play football. But this summer, many young French players have also joined the Saudi league, such as 21-year-old Matthew Patuye, 19-year-old Simon Abramre, and 20-year-old Nathan Zeze all came to Saudi Arabia to play football.

In addition, two French internationals, Koeman and Teo, are also heading to Saudi Arabia to find gold this summer. The 23-year-old Enzo Milo also joined the Saudi team Jeddah National for a transfer fee of 30 million euros. He is already optimistic that he will be close to being selected for the French national team.
