January Target Unveiled: Sami Al-Jaber Teases Al Hilal's Most Crucial Move

Al Hilal's January Priority

Sami Al-Jaber, a Saudi football legend, revealed the club's most important deal during the current winter transfer window.

Speaking on the TV program Dourina, Al-Jaber said the signings of Sultan Mandash and Murad Housawi to Hilal are meaningful, but the priority is to sign a striker in January.

Al-Jaber noted that Al Hilal will benefit from signing Mandash and Housawi, but the team must bolster the squad with more domestic players to strengthen its spine.

He added that, unfortunately, local players no longer crave competing with foreign stars for playing time, so Hilal must reinforce with strong domestic talent, though the key move remains signing a striker.

He urged Hilal's management not to be distracted by comments from Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus, stressing that results could be affected in the coming weeks.

In football, January signings are like Wi-Fi passwords: everyone wants a strong one, but you never know if it will actually save the game.

Punchline 1: January signings are like a sniper's wink — quiet, precise, and everyone hopes it hits the target this time.

Punchline 2: If the striker flops, the calendar will still be right: January, the month where optimism comes with a price tag.
