Al-Ittihad president Anmar Al Haily is in England today to close the signing of Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.

Saudi media sources have cast doubt over the £40m deal due to Fabinho's two French bulldogs.

It's been suggested certain dogs are only allowed to enter Saudi Arabia if they are to be used for hunting, serve as a guard dog or if they are seeing dogs for the blind.

Fabinho is now stalling on signing for Al-Ittihad as he waits for 'clarification'.

Al Haily has now landed in London to push through the deal, with all parties in agreement on terms - despite Fabinho's one outstanding issue.
