Mitrovic to partner Neymar in attack after sealing move to Al Hilal from Fulham

Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has become the latest big-name player to move to the Saudi Pro League after Al Hilal on Sunday confirmed his signing on a three-year contract.

"The board of directors of Al Hilal Club Company has signed the Serbian player Aleksandar Mitrovic," Al Hilal posted on social media. "Mitrovic's contract extends for three seasons, until 2026.

"The board of directors of the company was represented by the chairman Mr Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafal. The signing ceremony took place at Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris, France."

The arrival of Mitrovic, 28, from Premier League club Fulham continues a remarkable summer transfer window for Hilal, who have recruited several top-level players from Europe and have broken the league transfer record three times.

The Riyadh giants first broke the record with the signing of Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves from Wolves and again when Brazilian winger Malcom arrived from Zenit St Petersburg. However, both deals were significantly eclipsed earlier this week when Hilal signed Brazilian superstar Neymar for a reported €90 million ($98m) from Paris Saint-Germain.

Hilal have also completed deals this summer for Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou from Sevilla, and Mitrovic's Serbia teammate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio.

The fee for Mitrovic has not been disclosed, although Fulham said they had received a club record fee for the striker, reportedly worth in the region of £45 million ($57.3 million).

Mitrovic, Fulham's top scorer in four of the past five seasons, was absent from his team's 3-0 loss to Brentford on Saturday, after getting injured in Fulham's opening match of the Premier League season against
