Neymar arrived in Saudi Arabia in grand style as he was flown from Paris to Riyadh in a private Boeing 747 to complete his mega-deal with Al-Hilal.

  • Neymar lands in Riyadh
  • Saudi prince lends Boeing 747 for trip
  • Fans pack airport to greet star

WHAT HAPPENED? The Brazilian made the trip from Paris in a Boeing 747 lent to him by Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal. Touching down in the Saudi capital, Neymar was greeted by a delegation from his new club and stopped for photos and autographs with fans.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Neymar will complete a £77 million ($98m) transfer, signing a two-year contract reported to be worth £2.5m ($3.1m) per week. He will be joined at his new club by Aleksandr Mitrovic who will undergo a medical after Fulham agreed a fee of £46m ($58m) for the 28-year-old Serbian.

WHAT NEXT FOR NEYMAR? Neymar and Mitrovic will be hoping to fire Saudi's most decorated club back to the top after a disappointing third-place finish last season.
