Salem Al Dawsari (Al Hilal)

Salem Al Dawsari is the most consistent player for Al Hilal. From scoring goals to building up plays for his fellow teammates, Al Dawsari becomes a real danger to opponents’ defence with his presence on the field. He will be looking to step up here as the stakes are high and the competition will be tougher.
