Alioski ended four years at Leeds this summer after his existing Whites contract expired and talks over a new deal came to an end.

The two parties were unable to reach an agreement which led to Alioski's exit as the 29-year-old North Macedonian international became a free agent.

It was then widely reported on Sunday evening that Alioski had signed for Saudi Arabia side Al-Ahli but the move was not confirmed and fresh reports then emerged that talks had stalled.

But Alioski has now finally sealed his move to the Saudi side who posted a video on their official Twitter account confirming Alioski's arrival on Thursday evening.

A message from the Editor:

Leeds has a fantastic story to tell - and the Yorkshire Evening Post has been rooted firmly at the heart of telling the stories of our city since 1890.
