The National's Sport cover for the Thursday, September 10 issue, with Al Ahli and their on-feature foreign foursome of Moussa Sow, Lima, Everton Ribeiro and Kwon Kyung-won.
John McAuley reports on the quartet, arriving at the Dubai club this summer to make them perhaps the most well-heeled team in the UAE:
“Al Ahli believe they have assembled the finest foreign contingent in the club’s history, as they attempt to regain their position as the top team in UAE football.”
Says Ahli chief executive Ahmed Khalifa:
“Never in the history of Al Ahli have we had this level of player, all at the same time.
“We always had just one or two. But now we have Ribeiro, a Brazil national team player, Moussa Sow, a Senegal national team player, while Lima is a very big player also, who’s played in big teams and transferred from Benfica where he was top scorer and won the Portuguese league.”
