Turns up in agreement with Arab leader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emeer

'arab leader' is the definition.
(historical title in Islamic countries)

'turns up in agreement' is the wordplay.
'turns up' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'reeme' is hidden within 'agreement'.
'reeme' back-to-front is 'EMEER'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for emeer that I've seen before include "Islamic governor" , "Leader of Arabs" , "Islamic title" , "independent ruler" , "Prince" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
