Something of a veteran now, with over 100 caps for the Saudi Arabians, the star man in the final third remains Jeddah-born winger Salem Al Dawsari. A legendary figure for Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal, crucial to Simone Inzaghi’s unbeaten runners-up campaign in the Saudi Pro League this season, Al Dawsari will provide a much-needed creative and technical touch for the Saudis this summer. A former Villarreal loanee, Al Dawsari will seek to create another special memory and moment for the Saudi Arabians, having scored the winner in Saudi Arabia’s 2-1 defeat of eventual champions Argentina at FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
