Former Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard could be looking closer to home in a bid to make a few signings at his current club, Al Etti Park.Gerrard, who already surprisingly signed Jordan Henderson in the summer transfer window, appears to be targeting a new England international on Merseyside.
Al Ettifaq are currently seventh in the Saudi Pro League, nine points behind leaders Al Hilal.There was a lack of motivation or support that the fans could have provided last weekend, with the Daily Mirror showing that just 696 fans attended the defeat to Al Riyadh. If a player wants to play in an environment other than the Premier League, money is the only problem.
Of course, any claim to the contrary will be dismissed by intelligent advocates. Gerrard is keen to bring Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton to the SPL, according to sources at Football Insider. It remains to be seen whether the injured frontman is ready for such a move, but reports suggest that the Cheeses have no intention of letting the striker go.
A delay in the 777-partner takeover could mean the club has little choice as it appears to be heavily in debt and only a takeover could balance the balance sheet.
