Josh Brownhill, the sought-after free agent target of Ipswich Town, Leicester City, and Southampton, has made a surprising decision to join Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia in a deal that will see him earn over £100,000 per week, as reported by Sky Sports.
The summer transfer window saw Ipswich Town actively reshaping their squad under Kieran McKenna’s guidance following their relegation. The departure of key players like Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson signaled a new era for the club.
Despite the transfer window being closed, opportunities still exist to strengthen the squad with free agents. Brownhill, in particular, had attracted attention from multiple clubs after his departure from Burnley.
After much speculation and interest from Ipswich Town, Leicester City, and Southampton, Brownhill has now finalized his move to Al-Shabab, a decision that will see him embark on a lucrative new chapter in his career in the Middle East.
Although the Championship clubs were unable to match the financial offerings of Saudi Arabia, Brownhill’s impressive performances and leadership qualities make him a valuable addition to any team.
After proving himself in the Championship and Premier League, Brownhill’s move to a foreign league signifies a new challenge and an opportunity for further growth in his career. With an impressive track record of goals and assists, Brownhill’s decision to join Al-Shabab is sure to raise eyebrows but ultimately showcases his ambition and desire for a new adventure.
