Player to Watch: Firas Al-Buraikan
With all the high-profile signings Al Ahli SC had last summer, one of the domestic players has been their best scorer. That honor belongs to Firas Al-Buraikan who scored ten league goals in 24 matches this campaign while adding six assists.
Interestingly, Al-Buraikan went through Al Nassr's youth program but never got a real chance of breaking into the main squad. He moved to Al Ahli at the beginning of last season and never looked back. The 23-year-old striker has played 36 times for the Saudi Arabia national team scoring six goals.
