Ittihad officials sought signing a new striker after their Sierra Leonean star Mohamed Kallon was given a two-game suspension as he received his sixth yellow card this season.

Kallon will miss therefore two crucial league encounters against Hilal and Ahli, the games that will be decisive in determining the last four teams who will play the semi-finals.

Nassr have accepted to offload Al-Harthi after they were eliminated from the Arab Champions League (ACL) as well as securing their safety in the league.

Ittihad Jeddah were knocked out of the ACL round of 16 after they were defeated at the hands of Morocco's Wydad.
