The former England defender has had stints as an assistant coach with Aston Villa and Leicester, but now he's set to be Saudi's latest managerial recruit, following in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been offered a staggering £215million for winger Mohammed Salah.

Posh eye ex-Chelsea starlet
Peterborough are poised to sign former Chelsea forward Malik Mothersille.
The Londoner, 19, is a free agent after leaving Stamford Bridge earlier this summer.
McTominay rejects Fulham
Joao Palhinha's move to Bayern Munich collapsed when Scott McTominay rejected Fulham.
The Cottagers were not prepared to let Palhinha leave without securing a midfield replacement.
And the snub from Manchester United's McTominay left little time before the close of the German transfer window to find an alternative.
Al-Ittihad prepared to pay £200m for Salah
Al-Ittihad have launched a £170million bid for Liverpool star Mo Salah - and are prepared to pay a world-record £200MILLION.
The Reds have yet to turn down the mammoth offer.
And, according to , the Saudi club are prepared to eclipse the £198m Paris Saint-Germain paid for Neymar to get their man.
The Merseyside outfit have already rejected a £150million bid from Al-Ittihad for Mo Salah, according to reports.
The Reds are determined to keep their star man amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ittihad's first bid is understood to have been worth an initial £100m with a further £50m in add-ons.
But Salah appeared unfazed by the speculation as he drove away from the training ground on Friday afternoon.
The Liverpool forward departed in his shiny blue car as he waved to Red supporters looking to catch a glimpse of the Egyptian superstar, 31.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is not willing to entertain the idea of a sale.
Asked about a potential Salah transfer to Saudi Arabia, the German said: "The position remains the same. Absolutely no doubt about that."
Kasper faces Nice exit
Nice are reportedly trying to offload keeper Kasper Schmeichel before the close of the transfer window.
According to , Nice are keen to get rid of Schmeichel and will even let him go on a free transfer.
The 36-year-old only joined the French club last season, but no longer has a place in the starting 11.
Nice have signed Marcin Bulka from PSG and are said to view the Polish goalkeeper as their new number one.
Schmeichel has been left out of the matchday squad for Nice in every game so far this season and it is clear his future no longer lies with The Eaglets.
The Danish shot-stopper made 36 Ligue 1 appearances last season keeping clean sheets in 11 of them.
Gunners more likely to offload than make signings
Sporting director Edu reckons Arsenal are "really happy" with their transfer window - and more likely to let players depart than bring them in before it shuts.
Edu said: "Now we are talking about trying to balance the squad a little bit better.
“We keep talking to a few clubs, but so far, we are really happy with the transfer window.
“We have to say thank you very much to all the people that work at the club to make that happen – good, exciting season ahead for us.”
Callum seals 'massive' Forest move
Nottingham Forest have sealed an £8million deal to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea.
Spendaholics Forest have also moved ahead of Burnley in the chase to sign Divock Origi on loan from AC Milan.
Steve Cooper, faced with losing Brennan Johnson to Spurs, will be pleased to add Hudson-Odoi to his ever-growing squad.
The winger, 22, has signed a three-year-deal to end his 16-year-career with Chelsea.
The deal will see Hudson-Odoi team up with Cooper again, five years after they won the World Youth Cup with England's Under-17s.
Hudson-Odoi, who has also won three senior caps for England, said: "It's massive for me to be here and I can't wait to get started. It's a new chapter for me.
"I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me and I obviously know the manager well, so it's nice to be here and see familiar faces around."
Fulham loan Mbabu to Augsburg
Augsburg have borrowed Fulham full-back Kevin Mbabu for the rest of the season.
The Switzerland star, 28, is off to the Bundesliga after being loaned to home-country club Servette last term.
Augsburg have also borrowed Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga.
Posh reject TWO Swans' bids for Edwards
Peterborough have reportedly rejected two Swansea bids for defender Ronnie Edwards, 20.
Sky Sports revealed the double snub, with Posh owner Darragh McAnthony unhappy at some of the approaches made for the England Under-20 star.
Liverpool closing on Gravenberch
Liverpool are still expected to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
Bayern's raid for Fulham's Joao Palhinha fell through - and Manchester United have also been sniffing around Holland star Gravenberch.
But despite those two factors, Jurgen Klopp's men are confident the Holland star, 21, will move to Anfield before tonight's deadline.
Gravenberch could cost 40million euros - around £34.3m.
Forest ready to pounce for Trevoh
Trevoh Chalobah's move to Bayern Munich is reportedly on the verge of collapsing and Nottingham Forest could take advantage.
According to , the deal is on the brink of collapse as Chelsea and Bayern have been unable to come to an agreement.
But in a HUGE twist Nottingham Forest have now reportedly submitted a £25million bid for Trevoh Chalobah as they try to steal the Chelsea star away from the Bavarians.
Bayern had looked front runners to sign Chalobah from the Blues, but Forest are doing their best to hijack the deal.
According to the , Forest have submitted a £25million bid for the defender in the hopes of getting him on board before the transfer deadline.
The 24-year-old has been subject to interest from a number of clubs this summer and is said to be keen on a Stamford Bridge exit.
If Chalobah is to join Forest he will be one of a number of signings who have made the switch to the City Ground in the dying embers of the transfer window.
Steve Cooper's side have over the transfer of Ibrahim Sangare. Whilst Callum Hudson-Odoi and Odysseas Vlachodimos are also said to be signing for the Tricky Trees.
Gunners more likely to offload than make signings
Sporting director Edu reckons Arsenal are "really happy" with their transfer window - and more likely to let players depart than bring them in before it shuts.
Edu said: "Now we are talking about trying to balance the squad a little bit better.
“We keep talking to a few clubs, but so far, we are really happy with the transfer window.
“We have to say thank you very much to all the people that work at the club to make that happen – good, exciting season ahead for us.”
Why Cottagers said no
Fulham dug in over not selling Joao Palhinha - especially as a move for Tottenham's Pierre Emille-Hojberg as a replacement midfielder fell through.
Palhinha will now head back to England.
And while it is still possible he could line up for Fulham at Manchester City tomorrow - it is most likely he will have a weekend off.
Palhinha staying at Fulham as Bayern deal collapses
Joao Palhinha will remain a Fulham player after his deadline day move to Bayern Munich collapsed, writes JACK ROSSER.
The Cottagers gave the midfielder permission to travel to Germany and undergo a medical with the German giants but could not get a replacement in before the close of the Bundesliga window and therefore did not agree a deal.
Palhinha is seen by Marco Silva as the most important player at the club and it will be a huge boost to keep the Portuguese having lost Aleksandar Mitrovic earlier in the window.
Bayern had bid up to £60million for the former Sporting Lisbon man, who arrived at Fulham for £20million last summer.
Jonny will be our Mr Dependable
Manchester United's Football Director John Murtough hailed Jonny Evans for his work ethic and says he will be someone Erik Ten Hag can turn to at any time, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
After Evans sealed a one-year deal, Murtough said: “Jonny is a winner who has experienced everything in the game.
"These characteristics are invaluable to the culture that we’re building here.
“His attitude and work ethic are second to none and Erik and the coaching staff know he’s someone they can rely on whenever needed this season.
"We all welcome Jonny back and hope he can add further achievements to the success he has already enjoyed with the club.”
Evans' joy as he lands one-year Utd deal
Jonny Evans has resigned for Manchester United on a one-year contract, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
The Northern Ireland centre-back had been training with the club on a short term deal having become a free agent on leaving Leicester City.
But with Raphael Varane injured Erik ten Hag has moved to add him to his defensive options.
Evans was an academy product at United and played 198 games for them wining three Premier Leagues, two League Cups and the Champions League.
He moved on to West Brom in 2015 and then three years later Leicester City, making 152 appearances for The Foxes.
Evans, 35, said: “I am delighted to join Manchester United, a place which has always felt like home.
This club and the fans have shaped me as a player and as a person since I was 15 years old, and I am delighted to be back where it all began as part of this talented squad."
“I’ve really enjoyed working under the manager and his coaching staff since the start of pre-season, and I’m looking forward to helping this group achieve success together at this fantastic football club.”
THREE players eye Utd debut at Arsenal
Manchester United could hand debuts to THREE new signings at Arsenal on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag brought £72million forward Rasmus Hojlund through the door earlier this month, but he has only now been cleared to play following a a back injury.
And he could be handed his first start for the Red Devils at the Emirates this weekend.
Speaking about Hojlund, Ten Hag said: "Yes (Hojlund will be available). He had a good training week so tomorrow we have the final training.
";But he is doing well, responding well, so, yeah, he will be available for Sunday’s game."
But the Danish attacker may not be the only Man Utd new boy lining up against Mikel Arteta's men.
Sergio Reguilon has arrived at Old Trafford on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham.
And, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both nursing fitness issues, he could start at left-back in 48 hours time.
Yet perhaps the area most United fans will want to see a fresh face is in midfield.
Ten Hag is closing in on a deal for Fiorentina and Morocco man Sofyan Amrabat - who was sensational at the World Cup last year.
Red Devils offload 3 starlets
Erik ten Hag has trimmed his Manchester United squad by ditching three youngsters on deadline day.
Teen defender Marc Jurado has completed a shock permanent transfer to Espanyol. The 19-year-old has left United three years after joining from Barcelona for a nominal fee plus sell-on clause.
Jurado failed to make a single senior appearance for the Red Devils despite being tipped for the top in 2020.
Fellow Spanish defender Alvaro Fernandez, 20, is joining Granada on loan. He was deemed surplus to requirements for the season following the arrival of compatriot Reguilon.
But he could get the chance to challenge next year once he gets more minutes under his belt following last season’s loan in the Championship with Preston.
The final youngster heading out of the door on deadline day is striker Charlie McNeil, 19
He will spend the rest of the campaign with League One club Stevenage, having spent time at League two outfit Newport County last term.
Chelsea loan Burston to Sunderland
Chelsea have confirmed striker Mason Burston is joining Sunderland on loan for the rest of the season.
The Londoner, 20, was borrowed by his former club Charlton last year.
Now he's stepping up from a temporary stint in League One to a loan spell in the Championship.
Felix lands shock Barca loan
Joao Felix has touched down in Barcelona ahead of the frontman's shock loan transfer.
Atletico Madrid's ex-Chelsea loanee, 23, has not featured under Diego Simeone this season.
And now the Portuguese star looks on course to complete his temporary switch to Barca.
Felix missed Atletico Madrid training on Friday and made the short flight across Spain this afternoon with this father and personal trainer.
The group landed in Catalonia at around 4pm UK time and he is now set to undergo a medical before finalising the loan contract.
Spanish clubs have until 11pm UK time - midnight locally - to get their transfer dealings done.
Daka on the move
Bournemouth are in talks over a late deal for Leicester striker Patson Daka.
Daka has been tracked by the Cherries all summer and talks are now talking place over a loan deal with an option or obligation to by likely to be included.
Fellow Premier League sides Burnley and Everton have been interested this summer.
Everton failed to agree any deal with the Foxes, while Daka snubbed a move to Turf Moor.

Come in No99 - Carroll's odd move
Andy Carroll has completed the "most random transfer ever" to French side Amiens.
And he has also bizarrely taken the No99 shirt with his new side - having last worn the No2 jersey.
The former England striker's move from Reading was confirmed on transfer deadline day.
And Carroll was announced by Ligue 2 Amiens with a flamboyant welcome video, leaving fans stunned.
However, they were even more baffled by Carroll's choice of shirt number, with many hailing the move as "the most random transfer ever."
One fan said: "There he is, the angel of the north."
Cherry picked
Daniel Farke's hopes that Leeds would not lose any stars today are in tatters after Bournemouth reached an agreement to loan Luis SInisterra.
The Colombian winger, 24, has been desperate to leave Elland Road all summer and refused to play at the start of the season.
He was bombed out of the Whites changing room by boss Daniel Farke before being reintegrated in recent weeks.
However, the Cherries have swooped late and are confident of getting a deal over the line before tonight’s deadline.
Sinisterra arrived from Feyenoord last summer for £25million before Leeds were relegated to the Championship.
From SunSport's Oscar Paul.
Palhinha waiting in Munich
Time is ticking away on Thomas Tuchel's hopes of signing Fulham midfielder Palhinha for Bayern Munich.
The player is in Germany and there are suggestions he has even undergone part one of a medical but there is still no agreement in place between the two clubs.
Palhinha did not train with his Premier League team-mates this morning and is unlikely to figure in tomorrow's match at Manchester City.
But Fulham are digging in over their valuation of their Portuguese star and over sourcing a replacement at such late notice.
They were linked with a move for Tottenham's Pierre Emile-Hojberg but that seems to have collapsed.
Germany's transfer window shuts at 5pm UK time giving Bayern barely two hours to get a financial package in place that is agreeable to Craven Cottage chiefs.
From SunSport's Andy Dillon.
Deal Nott done
Nottingham Forest have reportedly submitted a £25million bid for Trevoh Chalobah as they try to steal the Chelsea star away from Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich were front runners to sign Chalobah from the Blues, but Forest are doing their best to hijack the deal.
There has been reports that Bayern could turn their attention to Southampton's Armel Bella Kotchap.
According to the , Forest have submitted a £25million bid for the defender in the hopes of getting him on board before the transfer deadline at 11pm.
Meanwhile, Steve Cooper's side have reportedly agreed a fee with PSV over the transfer of Ibrahim Sangare.
Whilst Callum Hudson-Odoi and Odysseas Vlachodimos are also said to be signing for the Tricky Trees with Brennan Johnson heading to Spurs in a £45m transfer.
Al-Ittihad to bid again for Salah
Al-Ittihad are not giving up on their attempt to sign Mo Salah.
The Saudi Arabian side have seen a £150m package rejected by Liverpool.
Sky Sports report that they are willing to go up to £200m to secure the 31-year-old Egyptian winger.
Liverpool believe the "case is closed" and he will be staying at Anfield beyond this summer.
The Saudi transfer window does not slam shut until September 7.
