Al Ahli Football Club has announced the signing of Alex Telles from Brazilian club Santos FC. The 26-year-old forward is set to add his experience and skills to the club's squad.
Telles joins Al Ahli after spending two seasons with Santos FC, where he made 41 appearances in all competitions and scored three goals. He was part of the team that won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 2021, finishing second overall behind Flamengo.
"Telles is a talented player who can play both inside and outside the box," said Al Ahli head coach Bruno de Souza. "His versatility will be valuable for our attacking line and I am excited to have him on board."
The move comes at a crucial time for Al Ahli, who are currently in the middle of a challenging season. They are looking to improve their form and push for promotion to the top flight of Brazilian football.
Alex Telles' arrival could provide the club with the spark they need to turn things around. His experience and ability to adapt to different playing styles should make him a valuable asset to the team.
As for Santos FC, it is understandable that they would want to find a new home for Telles, especially given the club's recent struggles in the league. However, he seems like a promising prospect for the future and it will be interesting to see how he performs in his new role at Al Ahli.
