Michail Antonio is set to sign a short-term deal with Qatari club Alu2011Sailiya before his return to club football following a near-fatal car crash.
Antonio had been training with Charlton Athletic and held exploratory talks with the Championship club over a pay-as-you-play deal.
But the 35-year-old is poised to sign for Qatari Stars League side Alu2011Sailiya until the end of their season, which has six games left.
His move to the Middle East is advanced with confirmation expected in the coming days.
Antonio has not played a competitive game in England since his accident in December 2024 that left him with multiple leg fractures.
