Sources: Riyadh Falcons Eyeing Nium or Sib for AR slot

Riyadh Falcons entered the offseason planning to sign Mohammed "Alluka" Bindal on a permanent deal after his loan from FaZe Vegas. That plan became unlikely once FaZe signaled it wanted to promote him into its own starting lineup, with LA Thieves also showing interest.

Sources indicate the Falcons have now turned their attention to LA Thieves' Nium as a potential replacement. Another name high on their list is former Paris Gentle Mates player Daunte "Sib" Gray, who wouldn't require a buyout, unlike Jeremiah "Nium" Harrison, who remains under contract with LA Thieves.

The Falcons are looking for a slower-paced AR specifically, a move that would allow McArthur "Cellium" Jovel to shift back into a flex role. Sources also indicate the organization hasn't ruled out bringing in another Saudi player for the position.

As we've reported, the situation remains fluid. Nium and Sib are the top choices for now, but if both fall through, don't be surprised to see another Saudi player enter the mix.
