Omar Al Somah Nears Surprising Move to Al Orobah
Syrian star Omar Al Somah is set to join Al Orobah in the Saudi Pro League, marking a return to Saudi football after his stint with Al Arabi.
Omar Al Somah, one of the most prolific strikers in the history of the Saudi Pro League, is reportedly on the verge of signing with Al Orobah. The 34-year-old Syrian forward, known for his goal-scoring prowess, is expected to finalize a deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the current season, with an option to extend for an additional year.
According to reports from 'Al-Sharq Al-Awsat', Al Orobah has received approval from the Financial Sustainability Committee to complete the signing. The official announcement is anticipated in the coming days, as both parties finalize the terms of the agreement.
This potential move follows the departure of Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Boateng, who recently terminated his contract with Al Orobah and joined Turkish side Gaziantep. Al Somah is expected to fill the void left by Boateng and bring his wealth of experience to the team.
Al Somah’s return to Saudi football comes after a successful stint with Qatari club Al Arabi. He previously cemented his legacy as the all-time leading foreign scorer in the Saudi Pro League, having scored 144 goals during his illustrious spell with Al Ahli. His remarkable consistency and ability to perform under pressure have made him one of the most revered players in the region.
Currently, Al Orobah finds themselves in 13th place in the league standings and are seeking reinforcements to improve their fortunes. The club’s upcoming match against powerhouse Al Hilal on Saturday will test their resilience, and fans are eager to see if Al Somah will feature in the squad.
With his vast experience and goal-scoring instincts, Al Somah’s arrival is expected to boost Al Orobah’s attacking options significantly. As the team aims to climb the standings, the signing of a player of Al Somah’s caliber signals their intent to compete at a higher level.
