My Take
Abdullah Al-Khaibari is a player I quietly rate. Born in 1996, the Saudi defensive midfielder does the thankless work of breaking up attacks and feeding the players who get the headlines. Anchoring the midfield at a powerhouse like Al-Nassr and earning a place in Saudi Arabia's preliminary squad for the 2018 World Cup is no small feat. I tend to admire these understated holding midfielders more than the strikers out front, because they hold a team's shape together. To me, he is a sturdy example of the depth and discipline behind Saudi football's rise.
