He is an intelligent player. One can rely on him to make the right decision in almost all situations. He also presses the ball relentlessly and adds a lot of intensity to the game.

Valentín Vada (Damac)

The Argentine midfielder is having an excellent 2025-26 season so far. He is the current top scorer for his team with six goals in the Saudi Pro League. He is Damac’s main creative outlet.
