Benin striker Razak Omotoyossi has agreed to join Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr from Helsingborg.

Omotoyossi had been linked with a move to the Premier League, with West Bromwich Albion rumoured to have shown an interest.

But Swedish side Helsingborg have confirmed that the forward has accepted a lucrative move to the Middle East.

"We wouldn't have minded keep Razak and seen him continue to progress at HIF," sporting director Jesper Jansson told the club's official website.

Ambitious

"But we know Razak's ambitions and that he wanted to move. Therefore, it feels right to sell him."

In January, Omotoyossi turned down a move to Groningen and was also linked with Derby, Reading and Portsmouth.

More recently, West Brom were reportedly watching the African, along with Arminia Bielefeld and Real Mallorca.
