You can never be permanently ahead of anything in soccer. Recently, a talented player with a low-key approach has taken the league by storm. After an exceptional performance against Karim Benzema’s side, a former Tottenham Hotspur striker ascends in the race for the Saudi Pro League’s Golden Boot. However, the player chose to stay grounded and denied his competition with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The sport can always surprise you with various players who can surpass records. When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia, you could estimate him to be one of the top performers in the league. But this star will make his supporters proud if he gets there, as it can be possible.

We’ve been watching the dominance of players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Aleksandar Mitrovic in this year’s competition. But former Spurs player Georges-Kevin N’Koudou has been running behind Ronaldo for the most goals this season. The Cameroon international spoke on a Saudi TV show named Dawrina Gher, rejecting such ambitions.

The winger stated, “I strive to give everything I have, and I do not see myself as a top scorer in the league. I play as a winger, not as a center-forward, and I do not think about being a top scorer in the league.”

Unlike various star-studded teams, Damac FC is fighting hard with its available resources. Notably, the team may not be able to afford Neymar and Ronaldo, but it has found hope with their new winger. The star scored 13 goals in 13 games for the club, going level with the Serbian star Mitrovic.

Earlier, the player was an irregular starter for the Spurs and was loaned to Burnley and Monaco for three years. The player then moved to Besiktas and had a fair stint before moving to Damac on a free transfer this year. However, the player’s immaculate performances have placed Damac 6th in the league table.
