Rúben Neves, the Portuguese winger who has been in great form for his club Porto this season, is reportedly set to join Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

According to reports, the transfer fee for Neves could be as high as £22 million. The deal would make him the most expensive player ever signed by Al Hilal, surpassing the £14 million fee paid for Manchester United's Paul Pogba last summer.

The move is expected to go through in January, with Neves expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia and undergo medical tests before joining up with his new team-mates.

Neves has been one of the standout performers for Porto this season, scoring six goals and providing eight assists in all competitions. He has also been a key part of Portugal's successful qualifying campaign for the World Cup in Qatar, appearing in four matches and scoring two goals.

The news comes after a busy summer for Al Hilal, which has already secured the services of former Manchester City star Raheem Sterling and former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck. The club is currently in the middle of a rebuild under new coach Roberto Martinez, and Neves' arrival could provide a much-needed boost to their attacking options.

Overall, the move looks like a smart one for both Neves and Al Hilal. With his experience and skillset, he should be able to contribute immediately to the club's efforts to challenge for the title. And with his price tag, it seems that the move was worth every penny.
