As the transfer window comes to a close, one move that has gone under the radar is Al-Hilal's signing of Rennes' teenage striker Mohamed Kader Meite. Meite has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal, despite reported interest from a number of Premier League clubs after impressing in France's Ligue 1. "I don't think he will stay there for long - he will end up in the Premier League at some point. "Maybe a few English clubs thought 'Let's see how he does in another environment before we bring him to the Premier League' - but he does have huge potential." He is not the only player heading out of Rennes though, with the club closing in on another high-value sale.
