After successfully being in the spotlight after Cristiano Ronaldo who was successfully brought to Saudi Arabia. The Arab League is again electrifying with the arrival of the world’s top players such as Karim Benzema to N’Golo Kante.

They managed to hook a few more players and further strengthen their reputation by bringing in Ruben Neves, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly. The arrival of these great players will certainly attract the attention of world football which will have a positive impact on the development of football in Saudi Arabia.
The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo since the middle of last season to Al-Nassr has been a big surprise in the world of football. The presence of this Portuguese superstar has made Saudi Arabian football fans proud.
Not long after, other Arab league clubs, namely Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, also succeeded in bringing in well-known players such as Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante. Their presence not only improves the quality of the match, but also shows Saudi Arabia’s commitment in developing the league in their country.
This commitment is increasingly visible with the arrival of more players such as Ruben Neves, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly. Ruben Neves, a talented young midfielder from Portugal who is also the mainstay of his team at Wolverhampton Wanderers, chose to continue his career at Al-Hilal for a fee of 55 million Euros.
Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly, Napoli’s formidable defender has added Al-Hilal’s defensive strength with extensive experience with solid defensive abilities. The Senegalese defender was bought on a 4-year contract.
Hakim Ziyech, a talented attacking midfielder from Chelsea will also be joining Al-Nassr. His creativity, vision and ability to score goals have made him a key player for his team.
Moreover, the news of Ryad Mahrez’s arrival to the Arab League was also widely reported. The transfer window hasn’t opened for long, let’s wait for the progress of these players. With so many players coming to the Arab League, besides increasing the quality of the game and attracting world attention, it can also be an opportunity for local young players to learn and train with experienced players.
They can learn the technique, mentality and professionalism of these top players. Not to mention, these players can attract sponsorship and investment in the world of football. Thus, infrastructure development and the development of a football academy will further develop in Saudi Arabia.
It would be interesting to see how these players impact the league and each of the clubs as well. We are hoping to see bigger and better improvements by the arrival of these big names.
