Al-Ittihad secures Karim Benzema's successor

Saudi Arabia: Al-Ittihad unveils Karim Benzema's replacement
AS Monaco has struck a major deal with Al-Ittihad for the transfer of George Ilenikhena. The move, valued at €30 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses, highlights the market worth of the 19-year-old striker.
Brought in to fill the void left by Karim Benzema's departure to Al-Hilal, Ilenikhena is set to take on a major challenge in a fiercely competitive environment.
With 10 goals and two assists in 51 appearances for Monaco, he has signed a contract until 2029 and will look to make his mark in the Saudi Pro League.
