William Ekong, the standout performer from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), has departed for Saudi Arabia to finalize his move to Al Khalood.
The transfer marks a significant step in Ekong’s career as he seeks to secure his financial future.
Accompanied by his agent, David Moss, Ekong is set to join Al Khalood after a transfer fee agreement was reached between the Saudi club and PAOK. Both the financial terms and personal conditions for the 30-year-old defender have been settled.
Al Khalood, based in Rass and established in 1970, will kick off their new season on August 12. Ekong’s debut will be highly anticipated as his new team opens their campaign with a home fixture against one of Saudi Arabia’s top clubs, Al Ittihad.
This move represents a significant opportunity for Ekong, who has demonstrated his talent on the international stage. As he prepares for this new chapter, fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how the AFCON MVP performs in Saudi Arabia’s top league.
