Former Leicester City head of recruitment Lee Congerton is wanted as sports director of Saudi Arabia club Al Ahli.

The Jeddah based club is run by former Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay who is their chairman and they boast former Premier League stars Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy and Allan Saint Maximin on their playing staff.

Congerton, 52, has been head of senior recruitment at Atalanta since 2022 and was pivotal in negotiations over the sale of Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United for £72million last summer.
