The former Aston Villa youngster left the Saints in the summer to sign for the Saudi Pro League side for £190,000.

Young had netted 22 league goals for the Saints and scooped the Cymru Premier player of the season award, before going on to score twice in his European debut during the Saints' run to qualify for the Europa Conference League.

But more than four months after his departure, Saints chairman Mike Harris has claimed the club are yet to receive a penny from the Al-Orobah.

FIFA have reportedly received a complaint regarding the issue, and speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Harris said: "We're due our transfer fee - not a penny has come.
