Player to Watch: Moussa Dembele

The French striker, not at all unexpectedly, has been one of the best players for Al Ettifaq this season. Although he missed eight games with injuries and has started just above half of all the games he played, Dembele is still the best scorer for the team.

The 27-year-old striker has scored seven league goals and added an assist to his record. This is Dembele's first season at the club after joining last summer from Lyon. He previously played for Atletico Madrid and Celtic. Throughout his career, Dembele scored 145 goals.
