He said: ‘I will go to Saudi Arabia in some free time, but I am convinced that I will work there.

‘I don’t know when, but I am pretty sure of it. No one knows the future, but I will definitely do this. Doors are always open for me in Saudi Arabia. I want to feel the development there.’

The time does not appear to have arrived yet, though, as Fener is scheduled to travel to Turkey after finishing second in the league with a massive 99 points, three points behind their fierce rivals Galatasaray.
