Brazil star Neymar has revealed his decision to sign for Al-Hilal is about a desire to create history.
The winger has swapped Paris Saint-Germain for the Saudi Pro League side this summer.
Given he is only 31, many fans are shocked that Neymar has departed European football.
After signing a two-year deal, attacker explained: I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places.
I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment.
I have heard a lot and learned that I am following a long list of Brazilian players who have played in Saudi Arabia over the years, so I believe it is the desired place.
Al-Hilal is a giant club with fantastic fans, and it is the best in Asia. This gives me a feeling that it is the right decision for me at the right time with the right club.
I love winning and scoring goals, and I plan to continue doing that in Saudi Arabia and with Al-Hilal."
