#3 Ali Al-Bulaihi (Saudi Arabia)
A comparatively lesser known name in football as far as the top defenders are concerned, the dynamic left-back from Al-Hilal will be one of the top names to look out for in the defensive prowesses of all the teams in UAE. Al-Bulaihi has played all of his football in Saudi Arabia itself with his first professional club being Al-Nahda in the Saudi First Division. He made his Saudi Professional League debut in 2015 with Al-Fateh.
After two seasons (47 games) with the Namothjis, Al-Bulaihi moved to one of the biggest clubs in Arabia and Asia, Al-Hilal in 2017. With a brilliant 2017-18 season on his back with the Saudi Professional League and the Saudi Super Cup title followed by the maiden FIFA World Cup debut in Russia, the 29-year old left-back will look to make his mark in Asia come January.
