    1Cristiano Ronaldo | Al-Nassr | 5 goals

    The icon. The legend. The GOAT? Wherever the former Real Madrid and Manchester United striker ranks in the history of sporting greats, his influence on the Saudi Pro League cannot be understated.

    After all, it was his transfer to Al-Nassr back in December 2022 that paved the way for other big names across the footballing world to follow suit. Ronaldo is still a match-winner for Al-Nassr, and perhaps the club’s most clutch performer even in the twilight of his career.

    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner had a productive half-season in Riyadh last term, bagging 14 goals, but the Portuguese superstar will be desperate to add personal and team awards to a packed career trophy cabinet, having led the Knights of Najd to their first-ever Arab Club Champions Cup triumph recently.

    • 2 Sadio Mane | Al-Nassr | 4 goals

      A two-time African Footballer of the Year and lifting pretty much every club trophy under the sun while at Liverpool, Sadio Mane never settled in Germany and sought a fresh start by joining Al-Nassr following a less-than-satisfying spell with Bayern Munich. He has made a fine start to life with Al-Nassr, and has already formed a lethal strike-partnership alongside Ronaldo.

      At 31, he may have lost a yard of electric pace that made him a nightmare for defenders in one-on-one positions, but he is still very clinical in front of goal with either foot.

      3 Abderrazak Hamdallah | Al-Ittihad | 4 goals

      It’s been a brilliant start to their title defence for champions Al-Ittihad. However, it hasn’t been just their shiny new toys doing the damage. Nicknamed “The Executioner” for his goal scoring exploits, Abderrazak Hamdallah is the current Saudi Pro League Golden Boot holder after firing 21 goals last season, and is showing no signs of giving up the mantle easily in the new campaign.

      4 Malcolm | Al-Hilal | 4 goals

      Former Barcelona attacker Malcolm lifted the Russian Premier League title last season with Zenit as the top scorer (23) in the league before joining Al-Hilal for a club-record €60 million.

      The 26-year-old Brazilian winger has made a fine start to his career in Saudi Pro League, scoring a fine hat-trick in Al Hilal’s 3-1 win over Abha on Matchday 1, and will be hoping to spearhead Al Hilal’s title-charge with his goal-scoring exploits in 2023/24.

      5 Roberto Firmino | Al-Ahli | 3 goals

      Liverpool’s beloved Brazilian has taken no time to become a firm fan favourite at Al-Ahli. Part of a Liverpool side that won Premier League, Champions League and domestic cup honours, Roberto Firmino was key to much of the success, both as a reliable frontman in his own right, but also as a creator for others around him.

      In the Middle East, though, life is much simpler for the sparkling Brazilian, with Allan Saint-Maximin and Riyad Mahrez both churning plethora of chances for Firmino to fire home.
