Jesse Lingard has shared a picture of him flying to Dubai after agreeing a one month training deal with Al-Ettifaq.
Lingard remains a free agent after leaving Nottingham Forest when his one-year contract expired at the end of last season.
The 30-year-old had previously been training with his former side West Ham as he looked for a new club.
However, a return to David Moyes’ side did not materialize.
Now, Lingard is set to join the ranks of former Premier League stars under Gerrard’s management. Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum, Demarai Gray, and Moussa Dembele have all found a home with Al-Ettifaq.
The club has started the new Saudi season impressively, winning five of their opening seven matches.
