One of the big talking points of this summer transfer window is the rise of the Saudi Professional League.
Four of the nation's biggest clubs in Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are now 75% owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has dramatically increased their spending power.
French midfielder N'Golo Kante has left Chelsea to join Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad.
Kante, 32, was on the brink of signing a new deal with the Blues earlier this season.
N'Golo Kante was omitted as Frank Lampard named his first starting line-up since returning to Chelsea as caretaker manager, with the midfielder rested ahead of the Blues' Champions League trip to Real Madrid.
Lampard opted to make two changes to Chelsea's side for Saturday's Premier League trip to Wolves, introducing England internationals Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher.
Chelsea have been handed a boost as head coach Graham Potter prepares to welcome Reece James and N'Golo Kante back from injury for their Premier League game against Aston Villa.
Having played the last six minutes in England's 2-1 away win against Italy, James withdrew from the England squad with an injury but has been training with Chelsea since.
Reece James will miss Chelsea's trip to Leicester City on Saturday through illness, but boss Graham Potter is hopeful N'Golo Kante will make his long-awaited return next week.
James has endured a frustrating few months, making just 11 Premier League appearances this season and missing England's World Cup campaign after suffering a knee injury ahead of the tournament.
