NEOM are keen to establish themselves among Saudi Arabia’s leading clubs and are managed by former Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier, who is understood to have spoken with Brownhill and his representatives.

Following positive discussions with new Al Shabab head coach Thomas Letsch, Brownhill has reaffirmed his commitment to the club.
He has also received interest from England but remains focused on a second season in Saudi Arabia.
