The Brazilian signs a four-year contract with the Riyadh team RIYADH: Al-Hilal announced the signing of Brazilian attacker Malcom Filipe Silva from Russia’s Zenit Saint Petersburg on Wednesday. The winger will join the Riyadh side on a contract that will keep him at the club at least until 2027. The signing, for an undisclosed fee, was confirmed at an event in Paris and was attended by the player and club chairman Fahad bin Saad bin Nafel. The 26-year-old attacker has been especially potent for the Russian side last season, scoring 23 goals from just 27 games. He joins a long list of big signings in the Saudi Pro League this summer, including Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Roberto Firmino, as the competition aims to become one of the top leagues in world football.
