Wijnaldum has agreed a three-year contract with the club which is managed by former Rangers and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard.

The 32-year-old midfielder joined the Ligue 1 champion on a free transfer from Liverpool in July 2021, but spent last season on loan at Serie A side Roma.

Wijnaldum, who has 90 caps for Netherlands, becomes the latest high-profile player to sign for a Saudi Pro League club this summer.

He will be reunited at Al-Ettifaq with Jordan Henderson, who captained Liverpool to UEFA Champions League and Premier League success during their time at Anfield together.
