Brownhill was Burnley's top-scorer last season as they won promotion back to the Premier League Former Burnley captain Josh Brownhill is posed to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab. The midfielder is due to sign a two-year deal having left the Clarets at the end of last season. He will join Belgium international Yannick Carrasco and former Southampton and Watford defender Wesley Hoedt at the club. Al-Shabab, managed by former Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil, lost their opening game of the Saudi Pro League 4-1 to Al-Khaleej. Brentford, Wolves, Leicester and West Ham were all keen on the 29-year-old, but he has opted to move to Saudi having been impressed by the club's project. He spent five years at Turf Moor, making 211 appearances and scoring 32 goals. He netted 18 times last season as Burnley finished second in the Championship to return to the Premier League.
