Several renowned players, currently without a contract, have been approached by Arabian Falcons, a club in the UAE Second Division League, to join them in Dubai. The invitation comes from the club's coach Jonjo Shelvey, former Liverpool and Newcastle midfielder, who emphasizes that no long-term commitment is required. The club boasts a list of star names, including Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Riyad Mahrez, Philippe Coutinho, Dani Carvajal, and Jamie Vardy, among others.
Jonjo Shelvey and Jason Puncheon, the team's captain and football operations manager respectively, are confident in the club's potential to develop their skills and keep them match-ready for a return to top-flight football. The Falcons have already secured a 2-1 victory in their opening game and are optimistic about climbing the UAE league structure.
The club has also established a Premier League-standard academy, which they claim is an attractive option for out-of-contract players seeking to maintain their playing condition. Sporting director Harry Agombar highlights the club's ability to provide players with proper support, including medical, conditioning, and matchday exposure, ensuring they remain at their best.
He adds that if a player finds a more lucrative offer, they can leave the club without any strings attached or long-term ties.
