Hilal’s Wing Onslaught: Al-Hilal Target Abdullah Al-Anzi, Free Agent Spark from Al-Fateh
Al Hilal pursues former Al-Nassr winger Abdullah Al-Anzi.

Transfer Update

Al Hilal has opened negotiations with Abdullah Al-Anzi, the winger from Al-Fateh, aiming to sign him in the current winter window.

According to Okaz, Hilal has contacted Al-Anzi's agent, who is in his free-agent phase, a few days ago.

Hilal values Al-Anzi as a versatile winger who can operate on both flanks and who is known for pace and creating chances.

Sources say Hilal faces a tough race to land Al-Anzi due to recent strong interest from Al-Nassr, Al-Khaleej, and Al-Ettifaq.

As of now, Al-Anzi has not chosen his next destination, weighing these offers.

Born in 2003, Al-Anzi began his career with the youth setup at Al-Nassr five seasons ago.

What It Could Mean

If the deal goes through, Hilal would bolster its wing options for the remainder of the season, potentially reshaping the attacking setup.

For fans, this would inject pace and width into the side, while opponents may need to rethink their defensive plans.

Punchline 1: Speed so sharp, defenders start looking for a calendar—there’s a lot of sprinting ahead of them.

Punchline 2: If he signs, the clock will file a complaint for excessive running and a lot of people will redact their FIFA countdowns.
