All-Leagues-Transfer-News2.jpg

During a week filled with many transfers, the [Saudi Pro League](https://m.betking.com/blog/news/saudi-arabia-transfers-saudi-s-football-ambition/) has made a highly significant signing, albeit off the field as former Nigerian international, Michael Emenalo, has been appointed as the league’s inaugural Director of Football. Emenalo gained prominence for his tenure as the Technical Director at Chelsea from 2011 to 2017, during which he played a pivotal role in revamping the club's academies and scouting networks for both the men's and women's teams. Throughout his time at Chelsea, the team achieved remarkable success, including their first-ever Champions League triumph and other major titles. This appointment by the Saudi Pro League signifies a declaration of intent, entrusting Emenalo with the responsibility of fostering local talent and elevating the league's stature to become one of the world's finest.

The latest development means Saudi Arabia’s spending spree won’t be stopping soon and you can make some money by predicting the Saudi Pro League as the destination for a few big names like [David de Gea](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/5425977/david-de-gea-to-sign-for-before-3rd-of-september) and [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/5369209/pierre-emerick-aubameyang-to-sign-for-before-3rd-of-september) seing as we provide the best odds among all online betting sites in this category and others. Here are some of the most notable transfers over the past week: 

**Sergej Milinković-Savić (Al Hilal)** 

In a remarkable series of transfers, Al Hilal has made yet another major acquisition in the midfield department, securing the services of a player in the prime of his career. Just a few weeks after the notable signing of Ruben Neves from Wolves for £47m, they have now successfully added 28-year-old midfielder, Sergej Milinković-Savić from Lazio. Milinković-Savić first gained recognition when he played a vital role in leading Serbia to victory in the European U-19 Championship in 2013 and the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2015. Since joining Lazio, his career has been fruitful, contributing to their triumph in the Coppa Italia once and the Supercoppa Italiana twice. His exceptional performances have also earned him a place in the Serie A Team of the Year on two occasions. Although there were previous speculations linking the towering Serbian midfielder to Manchester United and Bayern Munich, he ultimately made a move to Al Hilal for a reported fee of £34m. Milinković-Savić now joins the ranks of Al Hilal alongside the recent signings of Ruben Neves and the £20m acquisition of Kalidou Koulibaly, further strengthening the 18-time Saudi Pro League champions. 

**Loïc Openda (RB Leipzig)** 

RB Leipzig has spared no expense in securing yet another striker. Following the acquisition of Benjamin Šeško, they have further strengthened their attacking force by signing Loïc Openda for a reported club record fee of €40m. The talented Belgian forward first demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess during his time at Vitesse, where he scored 29 goals over two seasons. Last season, he made the move to RC Lens, and this proved to be a resounding success. He made a significant impact by scoring 21 league goals for his new club, including a remarkable feat of a hat-trick against Clermont in just 4 minutes and 30 seconds. This extraordinary achievement goes down in history as the fastest hat-trick ever recorded in the Ligue 1.

Openda's contributions were instrumental in RC Lens surpassing expectations and securing a remarkable second-place finish, granting them a long-awaited return to the Champions League after a 21-year absence. Having already lost their captain, Seko Fofana, to Al Nassr, Openda’s departure will undoubtedly leave a hole in Lens, but RB Leipzig has secured one of the most promising young strikers in the game for themselves.  

**Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte, Lee Kang-in & Marco Asensio (Paris Saint-Germain)** 

Following their recent acquisition of Milan Škriniar on a free transfer, PSG has unveiled a quartet of new signings: Lucas Hernandez (from Bayern), Manuel Ugarte (from Sporting CP), Lee Kang-in (from Mallorca), and Marco Asensio (from Real Madrid). Unlike their previous preference for high-profile signings, PSG seems to have adopted a more calculated approach in this transfer window by bringing in players who better suit their desired style of play. Among the four, Lucas Hernandez, a treble winner with Bayern, and Marco Asensio, a three-time Champions League winner, stand out as the most prominent. However, defensive midfielder, Manuel Ugarte and winger, Lee Kang-in are both highly regarded young players in their respective positions.  

PSG has also appointed Luis Enrique as their new Head Coach following the sacking of Christophe Galtier. Luis Enrique is famously known for leading Barcelona to a treble in the 2014-2015 season, although he has not achieved significant success outside of Barcelona. His most recent coaching role was with the Spanish national team, which he left after their elimination in the Round of 16 of the Qatar World Cup by Morocco.

**Manor Solomon (Tottenham)** 

Spurs have snatched up Israeli international Manor Solomon on a free transfer. The 23-year-old forward started the previous season with Shakhtar Donetsk before the outbreak of the war. Subsequently, he joined Fulham on loan but unfortunately sustained an injury during the opening match against Liverpool, causing him to miss the entire first half of the season. However, Solomon made a remarkable comeback during the second half of the season, scoring 5 goals in 5 games between February and early March, although those were the only goals he did score for Fulham. Due to his attacking versatility, Solomon is an ideal addition to Spurs, whose style of play emphasizes a highly fluid offense. and you can [check this page](https://m.betking.com/sports/events/outright/football/england/premier-league) for great odds on English Premier League games well as odds for other online sports betting activities. 

**Ibrahima Bamba (Al Duhail)** 

Italian Center-back/Defensive midfielder Ibrahima Bamba has made the move to the Middle East, this time to the Qatari League and not the Saudi Pro League. Bamba had enjoyed a spell with Portuguese side, Vitória Guimarães, earning himself a call-up to the 53-man training camp by Italian manager, Roberto Mancini. He will join Al Duhail for €9m (plus €5m in add-ons), making it one of the highest sales made by Guimarães. 

 **Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP)** 

Swedish forward, Viktor Gyökeres has joined Sporting CP from Coventry City. Last season in the Championship, Gyökeres was a menace to defenders as he scored 21 goals and created 10 assists in 46 games. His heroics brought him within an inch helping Coventry City secure a return to the Premier League, but they lost out on penalties to Luton Town. Sporting are reportedly paying £20.5m for his services, seeing off offers from both West Ham and Everton. Having finished outside the Top 3 of the Liga Portugal last season, this is a statement of intent by the club in its quest to return to the Champions League. 

With six weeks still left in the transfer window, there’s still a lot of money to be made from our betting offers on our [Transfer Specials page](https://m.betking.com/sports/events/outright/football/special-offer/transfer-specials). Following Kylian Mbappé’s standoff with PSG, Real Madrid are heavily tipped to make a club record bid for the Frenchman while Bayern and Manchester United’s dire need of a striker could see them move for Harry Kane and Rasmus Højlund, respectively.
