Midnight on Thursday, September 7, marked the end of the most memorable transfer window in the history of not just Saudi, but Arab and Asian football.

As the window shuts and attention turns to the football on the pitch, we review the best, the worst and the most surprising of the summer transfer activity in the kingdom.
