It just goes to show that a career hangs by a thread. On the verge of signing for Saudi Arabia, Arthur Theate finally gave up on a transfer to Al-Ittihad. Blame it on problems of interference from the president at the time in the Saudi club. Finally, the Liégeois set foot in the Bundesliga near Frankfurt. 20 meetings later, he should not regret his choice.
Aborted transfer of Arthur Theate to Saudi Arabia: what happened at Al-Ittihad?
If he experienced one or the other slump, the 24-year-old defender has completely revived in Germany. Having become a sure value, he has had a string of good performances in the center or on the defensive left side of Frankfurt. For some, he is even one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga. Performances that do not go unnoticed in England.
