Gudmundsson Joins Saudi Pro League Club

Icelandic winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson has left Burnley to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Orobah for an undisclosed fee. After spending eight seasons at Burnley and making 228 appearances, Gudmundsson had initially announced his departure at the end of last season but re-signed for one more year following a chance meeting with club chairman Alan Pace. He scored in his 200th league game for Burnley during a recent 5-0 victory over Cardiff City. Despite this brief return, Gudmundsson has opted for a new challenge overseas. The club issued a statement thanking him for his contributions and wishing him well in his future endeavors. Al-Orobah also recently signed midfielder Jean Michael Seri from Hull City.
