Abdul Zahra: Abdulraheem will become the Middle East's best striker

Muscat: Al Zawraa captain Alaa Abdul Zahra has heaped praise on in-form forward Mohannad Abdulraheem ahead of the Iraqi club’s AFC Cup Matchday Five clash with Oman’s Al Suwaiq on Tuesday, saying he will become “the best striker in the Middle East”.

The club from Baghdad currently sit top of Group A, two points clear of second place Al Jaish of Syria, with former AFC Youth Player of the Year Abdulraheem having netted four of their seven goals so far.

Teammates at both international and domestic level, and friends off the field as well, Abdul Zahra is convinced his strike-partner will continue to shine in the 2017 AFC Cup.

“Mohannad Abdulraheem is my best friend at Al Zawraa Club, we’re on the same page and know how to play together,” said the 29-year-old, who also captains Iraq.
