Al-Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard has hailed the imminent arrival of Neymar to the Saudi Pro League.
The Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil star has agreed to sign for Al-Hilal in a big money move.
Neymar will leave the European game, despite only being 31, for a shock switch to the Middle East.
The name speaks for itself," Gerrard told reporters after his team beat Al-Nassr 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League on Monday.
He's given me so much joy to watch him, Barcelona, PSG, Brazil, I don't think the boy gets enough credit for the numbers that he's put up in the last decade or so.
I don't want him to come because he's not coming to my team, but he'll certainly bring a lot of value and quality and credibility.
He is in Hollywood terms an A-list football star, the name speaks for itself, and it makes my job extremely hard."
