Angelo Gabriel is going to be an important part of the squad for Al Nassr. Despite not scoring any goals for his side, her performed really well and bagged an assist. He can control the ball well in the midfield and is surely capable of scoring goals. Gabriel will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Yazgylych Gurbanov (FK Arkadag)
