Al-Taawoun announces Kaku deal, forcing Red Bulls hand with season approaching

Whatever ends up happening, don’t be expecting Kaku to get a “thank you” tweet from the club account.

In a move teased by Instagram photos showing his presence in the Middle East, at least one shoe finally dropped on Monday afternoon as Saudi Premier League club announced the signing of Alejandro “Kaku” Gamarra from the New York Red Bulls with a snazzy video posted on social media accounts.

The release was a competently-produced number that used stylish B-roll of the sights and sounds in the club’s home city of Buraidah while Spanish narration noted the parallels between the football passion of Saudi Arabia and Kaku’s native country of Argentina.
