The Covert Agent: Craig Goodwin set to leave Adelaide United

Adelaide United are set to suffer a huge blow with the imminent departure of star player Craig Goodwin to Saudi Arabia.

The Covert Agent can reveal Goodwin is preparing to travel to the Middle East for a medical with Al-Wehda - with the view to signing a long-term contract.

The 27-year-old's contract with the Reds doesn't expire until the end of the 2020-21 season, but it's understood the South Australians have agreed a fee with the Saudi club.

Goodwin is a huge loss to Adelaide United as they build under new coach Gertjan Verbeek, with captain Isaias, defender Scott Galloway and young striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos among the others to leave the club already.
