More Details
Saudi Pro League record signing Neymar Jr will on Saturday evening be presented to the Blues supporters.
The 31 year old recently completed a record breaking transfer from PSG to Al Hilal and will be presented before the home fans before their second league game.
Neymar Jr will not be making his debut at the King Fahd International Stadium tonight but will be present in the stands as his side seek to secure their second win in as many games.
In preparation for the event, a section of the stands has been designed with the player’s picture and a simple “welcome” message.
Meanwhile…
Fulham manager Marco Silva admitted to several bids arriving for his players this summer.
The Portuguese tactician helped Fulham retain their Premier League status last season but has seen rich bids from Saudi Arabia arrive for striker Aleksander Mitrovic.

Al Hilal have been following the striker for a while and they are hopeful a deal can be reached with the Cottagers for the Serbian.
The 46 year old admitted during his press conference ahead of this weekend game against Brentford that several tempting offers have been put forward for his stars.
“This club, this season is receiving more offers than ever”, Silva revealed. “I’m talking about really [big] offers, in numbers that probably the club in the last few seasons didn’t expect to have.
“We have to be ready as a club for the consequences from the season that we had. If you perform like we did, if you do something that no one expected, something great, of course this club is probably receiving more offers than ever.”
“It’s for the board to decide and after it’s up to me to try and find the best solutions. No one told me, ‘Prepare because Mitrovic is sold’.”
Mitrovic could end up joining the likes of former Premier League stars Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves in Riyadh.
