Who Should Al-Hilal Sign to Replace Neymar?

Al-Hilal have to do without their superstar playmaker Neymar for the rest of the season, as the Brazilian has suffered from a season-ending injury, after tearing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament of his knee in the World Cup qualifying game between Brazil and Uruguay. Now, The Blues would have one foreigner spot available, and they have the opportunity to fill it with a new signing.

They have the most Saudi international players in the league, which means that they can count on their local players to fill any void left by the foreigners. Mohamed Al-Owais, Ali-Bulaihi, Hassan Al-Tambakti, Yasser Al-Shahrani, Saud Abdelhamid, Salem Al-Dawsari, Mohammed Kanno, Abdullah Al-Hamdan, Salman Al-Faraj, Nasser Al-Dawsari, Yasser Al-Shehri...few teams boast the collection of Saudi talent that Al-Hilal does.

But still, adding some extra quality to their squad would increase their chances even higher to fight for the Saudi Professional League crown, the AFC Champions League trophy as well as the King’s Cup title. We have previously mentioned in the previous analysis that the replacement should not be done with a like-for-like profile, as we clarified that Salem Al-Dawsari can pretty much fill in the shoes of Neymar, as he doing before his arrival, despite the difference in the main qualities of each player.
