Al-Hilal’s Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was crowned the best player of the King Salman Cup for Arab Clubs tournament, which concluded in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
According to the organising committee, Savic showed high potential and prowess during his team’s matches, the last of which was the championship final, in which he was close to score goals more than one time. Al-Hilal became runner-up in the tournament, after suffering defeat from Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr.
The Serbian international netted his first goal against the Moroccan Wydad Athletic Club in the group round matches of the Arab Cup before scoring his second goal against the defending Saudi Pro League Champions Al-Ittihad in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
The Italian Lazio midfielder joined the ranks of Al-Hilal last month. Milinkovic-Savic has become the latest addition to Al-Hilal’s star-studded line-up that already included Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves, André Carrillo and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
