Jordanian star Ali Alwan set for winter move to Saudi Pro League, fans brace for fireworks
Jordanian star Ali Alwan could move to the Saudi Pro League this winter.

Ali Alwan, Jordan's national team star, is nearing a move to the Saudi league in the current winter transfer window.

Alwan shone brightly in the Arab Cup recently held in Qatar, leading Jordan to the runners-up and finishing as the tournament's top scorer with 6 goals.

Alwan has received several offers to leave his Karmah club in Iraq in the upcoming winter window, notably from Al-Sailiya in Qatar, Al-Fateh, Al-Riyadh (Saudi), and Al-Ahly of Egypt, according to close sources.

A close source said the player has completed an agreement to move to Al-Riyadh club, with just a few finishing touches left to seal the deal. And yes, the scarf is already ready for a bedtime story. Punchline 2: The only thing Riyadh's defense will fear is a calendar.
