And he admits he is tired of the doubts and criticism from England about the SPL.

Speaking on the Overlap: "The league is not as easy as some think; it is extremely competitive and has a fantastic field of stars.

"In my opinion, the best clubs in Roshen League could easily compete in the Premier League because we are talking about top class players like Karim Benzema and Aleksandar Mitrović.

"If the work continues at this level, the Saudi national team will have a major impact at the 2034 World Cup."
