Mohamed Kanno #23

Profile

This leggy and dynamic box-to-box midfielder has held his own at the all-conquering Al-Hilal since 2017 and is still going strong. “With a bit more maturity, he could be a top-class player,” said the Al-Hilal coach in 2022, Ramón Díaz,. Still loses his head from time to time but a succession of national team coaches, especially Hervé Renard, have selected the player born in Khobar, on the east coast, just across the bay from Bahrain as they appreciate his energy and work-rate. Also possesses a fierce shot.
