Josh Brownhill, a former Burnley captain, is reportedly joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab.

After leaving the Clarets at the end of last season, the midfielder is expected to agree to a two-year contract.

Wesley Hoedt and Yannick Carrasco, both of whom were previously for Southampton and Watford, will play for the club.

Al-Khaleej defeated Al-Shabab 4-1 in the first game of the Saudi Pro League. The team is currently led by former Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil.

The 29-year-old has opted to move to Saudi after being impressed by the club’s project, despite being wanted by Brentford, Wolves, Leicester, and West Ham.
