Beerschot signed Faisal Al-Ghamdi in the final days of the transfer market. The club, under Dirk Kuyt, has been active in acquiring players.

Faisal Al-Ghamdi joined Beerschot on loan from Al-Ittihad.

Al-Ittihad confirms that Faisal Al-Ghamdi will be loaned to Beerschot for one year. Al-Ittihad paid nearly 12 million euros a year ago to acquire the 22-year-old midfielder from Al-Ettifaq. Due to fierce competition from N'Golo Kanté, Fabinho, and newcomer Houssem Aouar, he had little prospect of playing time this season.

Faisal Al-Ghamdi is expected to join Beerschot. The Saudi international cost 12 million euros a year ago.
