Sami Al-Najei is a 25-year-old Saudi Arabian international who plays as a midfielder for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. He has been in incredible form so far this season. Sami has made 13 appearances for his club this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists. In fact, he is by far Al Nassr’s best assist provider this season as far as the stats are concerned. 

Speaking about his career, Sami Al-Najei is an Al-Nassr product. At the age of 18, he made his debut for Al Nassr’s U-23 team in 2015. He has played at certain other clubs too on loan transfers but Al-Nassr has been his Alma mater throughout.

After Vincent Aboubakar was chalked off of the team to make room for Cristiano Ronaldo, David Ospina is the only big name left in the Al Nassr squad after Cristiano himself. David Ospina was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe back in his days at Napoli and Arsenal. However, he is 34 now and is thus playing in the Saudi Pro League. 

Currently, an Elbow injury is keeping him away from the pitch. However, he is expected to return from injury next month and he will team up with Cristiano Ronaldo after that.
