One of the biggest stories in world football last year was the number of high-profile players recruited to the Saudi Pro League.

Although Jordan Henderson recently cut his controversial move short, returning to Europe to join Ajax, most have stayed put so far, amid growing rumours of discontent.

Beyond massive wages, the new arrivals were promised a playing experience and lifestyle that doesn't seem to have materialised, raising questions about the long-term viability of the project.

For now, a whole host of former Premier League players remain in Saudi Arabia. How many of them can you name?
