Saudi Pro League's transfer chief Michael Emenalo wants 'ALL the top players', following the moves of Karim Benzema and Riyad Mahrez among others

The Saudi Pro League’s transfer chief says he wants ‘all the top players’ - and has warned that more incredible spending is planned in the current window.

Michael Emenalo, the former Chelsea technical director, has been behind a breathtaking raid on Europe, which has seen the likes of Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Riyad Mahrez head to the middle east for staggering salaries.

Earlier this week, Premier League boss Richard Masters backed the domestic competition to stave off any Saudi threat to become the world’s leading division, but admitted its growing presence was something that officials would have to keep an eye on.
