The Saudi Arabian push into the sport of football has taken a huge leap in the past year. Their famous win over Argentina in the World Cup group stages in Qatar followed by the acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo by Al Nassr helped kick-off a trend that is going nowhere and perhaps Arsenal can benefit.
Saudi Arabia has huge funds which is now impacting both football and golf on global scales. After just one full season of owning Newcastle United, the Saudi-backed consortium that bought the club from Mike Ashley has the team back in the Champions League.
From an Arsenal perspective, there is perhaps some hope that the club can benefit from potential sales to the region. Nicolas Pepe is amongst a number of players that the Gunners are looking to offload in the summer.
