Al Ittihad have time to make Joe Gomez swoop
However, with the Saudi League summer transfer window not shutting until September 20, The Tigers still have more than enough time to get a deal for Gomez over the line and have also been linked with a league-record bid for Reds forward Mo Salah in a potential double swoop.
