Hassan Al-Tambakti #5

Profile

“Tambakti is the best Saudi player at the moment, without a doubt,” said the former international Abdullah Otayf on TV in November. “He should be playing in Europe as he has all the tools.” There has been interest from clubs in France and Portugal but the 27-year-old has stayed in Riyadh. A leader on the pitch and more than holds his own against the top-class strikers that have been imported into the Saudi Pro League. Powerful and confident with the ball, he has been compared to former Inter defender Milan Skriniar, and has the physical strength to mix it with any forward.
