Unstoppable Flair: Diaby’s Sharp Edge Lights Up Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League
5 March 2026
Impact and Numbers
French winger Moussa Diaby continues to light up the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad, repeatedly showing the knack for unlocking defenses and creating clear chances for teammates, underscoring his vital role in the team’s attacking success.
Having been one of the club’s core weapons since last season, he helped secure a league title and the King’s Cup, and rumors persist of a potential return to Europe through Inter Milan, according to several outlets.

Diaby is noted as the single most prolific creator in a game in the SofaScore database for the Saudi Pro League, fashioning 5 chances in the historic 7-1 win over Al-Wehda in last season’s third round. He also set up 4 goals during that seven-goal spree, a testament to the season in which he delivered 16 assists across the league and the King’s Cup.
Since then, no other player has surpassed that number, despite the presence of stars like Saleh Al-Dawri, Malcolm, Karim Benzema (with Al-Hilal), Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman, and Joao Felix (with Al-Nassr).
This season, Diaby has appeared in 32 matches across competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 13 assists.
Punchline note: If creativity were currency, Diaby would be running the transfer market. And if defense could talk, every backline would beg for a mortgage on his crosses.
