Plan B. Al Hilal are looking for a replacement for Dembele in the Premier League

Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal have begun preparing an alternative plan in anticipation of one of their biggest deals of the current summer transfer window falling through after their talks with France’s Ousmane Dembele hit a string of hurdles, with Al-Zaim moving quickly to a new option active in the English Premier League.

Al Hilal had made Dembele a priority to strengthen the front line, but the difficulty of negotiating with his club, in addition to the huge financial costs, led the administration to explore other names to lead the team’s attacking project.

According to a reliable reporter Sasha TavoleriSenegalese Eliman Ndiaye has emerged as one of the most prominent alternatives on the Al Hilal table as the player expressed his willingness to trial professionally in the Saudi league following initial talks between the club’s representatives and his agents.

The source said the deal is still at an early stage, but Al Hilal management see Ndiaye as a suitable option, especially given sporting director Richard Hughes’ efforts to build a strong and balanced squad in the current transfer window in preparation for all competitions.

Ndiaye has been a standout in his professional career as he has made 214 appearances in various competitions, scoring 44 goals and providing 23 assists to take his tally to 67.

A Dembele deal remains the biggest dream of Al Hilal fans, but at the same time, it seems that the administration wants to waste no time, so it has already started to move in more ways than one to secure the arrival of a high-class striker before the curtain falls on the summer Mercato.
