Sumaila Abubakari: Ghanaian youth attacker turning heads in Saudi Arabia

After conquering Albania's top-flight, Ghanaian youth forward Sumaila Abubakari is now grabbing the headlines in Saudi Arabia following his consistently impressive performances for Arar FC.

The 20-year-old made the switch to the Saudi lower-tier side in 2023 summer after leaving Albanian side KF Skënderbeu.

Saudi Arabia has attracted global attention in football following the arrival of world football icons led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.

Indeed the West Asian nation has been bringing in the best of world football talents and the young Ghanaian is no short of quality. The profile of the former Mountaineers FC player was already soaring before his arrival.

Sumaila had scooped the Player of the Season Award at KF Skënderbeu in the 2022/23 season.

His arrival was met with a lot of expectations in the league and he has justified his quality by netting 2 goals and providing 3 assists in 5 games for Arar.
