The English Premier League is missing many stars in the new season who decided to leave the ranks of their clubs heading to the Saudi League, and although the level of competition is very high in the English Premier League, these players chose the “Roshan League”.
Many football players move away from the English Premier League as they approach the final stage of their career, and this may happen due to a large number of reasons, most notably to get more money, and some of them want to end their playing career in a less competitive environment.
In the following lines, we monitor 5 players who will be missed by the English Premier League next season.
1- Riyad Mahrez
Riyad Mahrez He is one of the best wingers of his generation, and was one of the leading stars in Leicester City’s historic season that won the English Premier League title, and his elegant physical composition and amazing technical qualities made the player a nightmare for defense in the Premier League.
Mahrez had a career and won a lot of titles at Manchester City and left the club as the winner of the historic treble, winning five Premier League titles, one European Champions League title, two FA Cup titles, and the League Cup three times in his career, and Mahrez has now joined the Saudi Al-Ahly team in the Professional League .
2- Ngolo Kante
Considered one of the best defensive midfielders of the modern era, N’Golo Kante was a force to be reckoned with at the height of his career and, like Mahrez, featured in Leicester City’s historic season.
Kante also won the Premier League and Champions League with Chelsea, and played a crucial role in both successes. He was also the engine that propelled France to victory in the 2018 World Cup.
Injuries had an impact on Kante and his level declined in recent years, and moving abroad was logical, as Kante is currently playing next to legend Karim Benzema for the Saudi Al Ittihad team.
3- Roberto Firmino
Roberto Firmino is another player who has played an important role in Liverpool’s recent glories. The Brazilian forward will remain a crowd favorite at Anfield. Firmino’s playing intelligence, leadership qualities, pressing and technical brilliance helped put Liverpool ahead, forming a fiery attacking line with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. .
In all competitions with Liverpool, the 31-year-old has scored 111 goals and provided 79 assists. Firmino has completed a move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahly.
4- Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson has become one of Liverpool’s most influential players under Jurgen Klopp, with the England international’s leadership qualities, aptitude and work ethic being crucial to the turnaround in their fortunes in recent times.
However, it became clear over the course of last season that Henderson was on the decline, as the 33-year-old completed a move to Saudi Professional League side Al-Ettifaq in a deal worth €14m.
5- Saint-Maximin
It was not long ago that Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin starred with Newcastle United, where he flourished clearly in the past season, and led his team to qualify for the Champions League in the 2022-23 season, but at the age of twenty-six, he left early for the Saudi League.
The French wing decided to move to Al-Ahly of Saudi Arabia, after impressive levels with Newcastle.
