Hyderabad: Saudi Arabian football player, Saleh Alshehri dismisses the rumours of receiving a Rolls Royce Phantom from the Crown Prince of Saud, Mohammed Bin Salman.

It was later confirmed at a press meeting by Saleh Alshehri that this was not true. “I read a story today, that as a reward for your fabulous win over Argentina, every player is being given a gift, a Rolls Royce Phantom car. Can you tell us if this is true or not? If it is true what do you think of that and which colour would you choose?” asked a journalist to the player, to which he replied, “It’s not true.”

The journalist then followed up by saying, “That’s a shame right?” and the player replied, “We are here to serve our country, and we do the best, so that is our biggest achievement.”
