Al Nassr wants to bring both Fofana and Telles in the upcoming days. Be that as it may, it is indeed a big move from the Riyadh-based club. Just recently, the club got banned by FIFA from making new additions to the squad after failing to make necessary payments to Leicester City over Ahmed Musa’s 2018 transfer.

However, it seems that conundrum has been put to bed as they seemingly poach new players from Europe. And it seems that Telles is the new man in town. But is he a good signing?

Is Alex Telles a good signing for Al Nassr?

During his initial period at Manchester United, Telles showcased his attacking prowess and delivered exceptional performances. His ability to provide an additional attacking option from the left flank with accurate crosses and creativity in creating scoring opportunities. However, the player soon fell down United’s pecking order as Luke Shaw was picked ahead of him. Subsequently, he went on a loan spell to La Liga side Seville but eventually returned.

Moreover, the player also showcased some disciplinary issues after getting into a heated argument with one of the United’s youngsters. Certainly, this has led the Red Devils to put him on the transfer market since then. Henceforth, he has a chance to give a fresh start to his career and get back to his sensational form. Moreover, he will be looking to link up with his former United teammate and pave the way to greatness for Al Nassr.
