Roma striker Dybala impressed by growth of Saudi Pro League

Roma striker Paulo Dybala admits he's been impressed by the growth of the Saudi Pro League.

The Argentina international has been linked with a move to the SPL.

Dybala told Al Arabi Al Jadeed: "The growth of the Arab League in the last two years has been incredible, both in terms of players and clubs, but also in terms of the quality of the game.

"I watched several matches on TV and I was impressed both from the level of play and the passion of the fans, with the stadiums always full. Football is truly loved by the younger generations.

"Also, many of my Argentine teammates play there, and they often speak highly of it. Playing the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia (in 2019) was clearly a new experience for me. I had never been to Saudi Arabia and it was a very positive experience.

"I was already struck by the fans' passion for football and their dedication to the sport. But at the moment I play for Roma and I imagine myself with Roma. The Arab championship is certainly one of the most important, together with MLS and European championships."
