Al-Nassr defender Laporte makes plea toSPL chiefs

Al-Nassr defender Aymeric Laporte is urging Saudi Pro League chiefs to make things easier for foreign players.

The summer signing from Manchester City admits they need more support to adjust to life in Saudi Arabia.

Laporte told AS: "They have not made it easy for us. In fact, there are many players who are unhappy.

"But hey! We work on it every day - negotiate, so to speak - and see if it improves a little, because it is also something new for them to have European players who already have a long career.

"You negotiate something, and then they don't accept it after you've signed.

"Yes, they take care of us, but not enough for my taste. This means that in Europe they pay you a good salary, but they look after you better.

"At the moment I haven't thought about it, but if you are disappointed in such a short time, you wonder what to do. The moment has not yet come, but in the future it may be if the current dynamics continue."
