Players to Watch

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

The England international is the top goalscorer in the league this season, surpassing the legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays at Al Nassr. Toney played a crucial role in winning the Asian Champions League last season, and he continued his form this season as well. If he continues to perform like this, surely he will be in the World Cup squad.

In 22 matches which he played this season, he has scored 19 goals and provided six assists.

Omar Al Soma (Al Hazem)

The Syrian international is playing his first season at Al Hazem, and so far, he has been quite impressive. Standing at 6ft 4, he is a proper number nine and a typical striker who likes to stay upfront and score goals ruthlessly. Statistically, his profile isn’t very impressive, but his overall impact on the pitch is quite visible.

In 12 matches, he has scored four goals this season.
