Crysencio Summerville has completed a £60m move from West Ham to Al-Hilal after signing a four-year contract.
The deal is worth just over €70 million (£60m), with the winger completing his medical in Amsterdam before putting pen to paper. The transfer had been identified as a priority by Al-Hilal’s new ownership and sporting director Simon Francis.
Summerville had been expected to leave West Ham following the club’s relegation to the Championship, despite being under contract until 2029.
Manchester United made enquiries over his situation and Aston Villa also showed interest. Roma submitted a €46m (£39.12m/$56.21m) offer earlier this month, but it was Al-Hilal who won the race.

The Saudi Pro League side agreed a package reported to be worth £55m plus £5m in add-ons.
Summerville made 34 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.
He also impressed at this summer’s World Cup, registering two goals and two assists in four matches for the Netherlands before their penalty shootout defeat to Morocco in the round of 32.
He is now set for a new adventure in the Middle East as Al-Hilal continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
