Former Premier League star signs for little-known club in Dubai - with his new side unveiling him by showing the striker stepping out of a Lamborghini

A Premier League star has completed a surprise transfer to Dubai club Al-Nasr, not to be confused with Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi club, Al-Nassr.

The former Premier league icon is well known for his time at Southampton between 2017 and 2019.

The striker returned to Italian club Sampdoria for a £12million fee in 2019 and has now joined the Dubai club on a free transfer.

He joins ex-Premier League player Adel Taarabt, formerly of Tottenham and QPR, at the Dubai-based side this summer.
