ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE is reportedly set for a shock move to Saudi Pro League newcomers Neom. The Saudi outfit were promoted to the country's top flight as champions of the First Division. 4 4 Lacazette, 34, became a free agent this summer after Lyon were relegated to Ligue 2. The former Champions League semi-finalists dropped down due to debts being racked up by owners Eagles Football Group. The club is set to appeal the decision, but it will not affect the future of the former Arsenal striker. L'Equipe have claimed that Lacazette will sign for Neom on a two-year deal. The report has suggested that the Frenchman has already completed his medical ahead of the switch. However, Lacazette will miss out on playing at the club's potential new futuristic stadium. They currently play at the King Khalid Sports City Stadium in Tabuk but will be moving soon. The new stadium will be built as part of the plans to construct the city of Neom. The city will be 106 miles long and is currently being built in the Saudi desert. There will be two stadiums built as part of the plans, with one boasting a capacity of 45,000 on a cliff edge.

But for Lacazette, his move comes too soon for him to play in the futuristic grounds. Their construction is expected to be completed in time for the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia. This means that Lacazette will be stuck playing in front of at most 12,000 people at home games for the next two seasons. He will join former Premier League and West Brom star Ahmed Hegazy at the club. The defender made 104 appearances for the Baggies before leaving for Saudi giants Al-Ittihad. Lacazette leaves Lyon after two spells with the club in which he made 326 appearances and scored 184 goals. During his time away from Lyon he starred for Arsenal in the Premier League for five years.

Alqan Heritage Village: A window into Saudi Arabia's past
JEDDAH: Near Haql city, located northwest of Tabuk, sits Alqan Heritage Village — one of Saudi Arabia's most scenic and historic heritage sites. Also known as 'The Snow City,' it is a popular destination during winter when the whole area can become covered in snow. During warmer months, Alqan offers visitors a chance to explore the village's traditional homes, which are built on raised areas using local sandstone. These structures reflect the region's unique architectural style and building techniques, according to the Saudi Press Agency report. The village is located about 170 km from Tabuk city in northern Saudi Arabia, and is surrounded by a stunning landscape of tall mountains and red dunes. Alqan was built in 1934 by order of King Abdulaziz. It includes 20 houses made from red stone and mud, with palm trunks and fronds used for the roofs. These buildings were once used by the region's first government employees and public offices. Today, the village is officially listed in the National Register of Architectural Heritage. The Heritage Commission continues its efforts to document, protect and digitize such historic sites across the Kingdom. Near the village is the Alqan customs checkpoint, built in 1965. The area is also home to several historical wells that were used to provide water to local communities. Among them is the well of 'Abu Al-Alq,' believed to have inspired the village's name. Others say the name comes from small particles that sometimes appear in the well water. Perched on a rocky hill, the village was carefully planned by early settlers, who chose the location based on natural features like wind direction, rainfall and privacy. Their thoughtful urban planning shows how well they understood the desert environment. Alqan is best known for its snowfall, a rare feature in most of Saudi Arabia. Heavy snowstorms were recorded in 1945 and again in 1965, with snow lasting for several days. These events helped shape Alqan's reputation as a winter retreat.
