Jaissle Targets a Familiar Player as Ahli Jeddah Moves to Make Housawi permanent

Background

Al Ahli Jeddah has begun moving to close a deal on a familiar target, driven by coach Mattias Jaissle’s wishes.

According to Saudi outlet El-Riyadiyah, Al Ahli Jeddah is set to contact Al-Raed to activate the buy clause in left-back Zakaria Housawi's contract, so he joins permanently.

Housawi joined Ahli last summer from Al-Raed on loan until the end of the season for 12 million riyals, with an option to make the move permanent.

Latest update

News says Jaissle has asked for a push to seal a permanent deal following the impressive display he has shown this season.

The 24-year-old has played 20 games for the Reds this season, scoring one goal and setting up two more.

Sources say the deal hinges on his performances in the coming weeks.

Punchline 1: One shot, one goal—Jaissle's aim is true, even with the coffee budget.

Punchline 2: If this deal misses, don’t worry—the club will just blame the defender’s Wi-Fi for the lag in negotiations.
