Al-Okhdood Club is close to finalizing the signing of Gambian striker Jai Dembele, formerly of Abha, as part of the management's efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the new sports season.

Negotiations in their final stages.

Sources indicated that negotiations between the two parties have reached their final stages, with the technical staff keen to benefit from the player's attacking experience, following his performances during his recent stint with Abha, which drew attention due to his ability to make a difference up front.

Experience in Saudi stadiums.

Dembele has good experience in Saudi stadiums and is adept at playing in multiple attacking positions, whether as a center forward or winger, which gives the coach various technical options during the upcoming season's competitions.

The official announcement of the deal is expected in the coming days, pending the completion of final procedures, making Dembele one of Al-Okhdood's most prominent reinforcements in the summer transfer window, as part of the club's plan to build a team capable of competing and achieving positive results in the Saudi Roshn League.
