Al-Nassr flexed their financial muscles during the transfer window, bringing six big names to the club from Europe, we have ranked them.

Al-Nassr’s big recruitment drive sees them third in the league and top of their AFC Champions League group.

This early success points toward a successful summer, but some deals have been better than others.

Here we have ranked all six deals from best to worst, based on their performances so far this season.

1) Marcelo Brozovic

The 30-year-old Croatian joined Al-Nassr from Inter Milan in the summer and has been thriving since.

An average rating in the Saudi Pro League of 7.7 as per SofaScore, just showcases how dominant he is against other midfields in the league.

Marcelo Brozovic looks a cut above which is why he is top of our rankings.

2) Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane was signed with the intention of creating a deadly attacking duo alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is exactly what has happened as the Senegal captain has scored six goals and made two assists in just nine games in the league.

Undoubtedly a success and seeing Mane and Ronaldo linking up is seriously a sight to behold. Two greats playing in the yellow and blue of Al-Nassr.

3) Aymeric Laporte

Aymeric Laporte has arguably been the most important signing for Al-Nassr.

Before his arrival, the club were struggling and by contrast haven’t lost a game in which he has started.

Signing one of the Premier League’s best defenders when he is still kind of in his prime, was a huge steal, and if they can give him a partner, he could be even better.

4) Alex Telles

Alex Telles has again been solid in defence and attack for the club, a formidable presence down the left side.

He arrived from Manchester United for cheap and has been good.

However his performances will always be outshined by those above him in this list.

5) Otavio

A move which went under the radar was the £51.8 million signing of Otavio from Porto.

Since his arrival he has played a role in the sides form, however no doubt is overshadowed by Brozovic in midfield and in attack by the aforementioned Mane and Ronaldo.

Due to the price he cost, it is difficult to rank him higher than fifth.

6) Seko Fofana

The most disappointing of all the signings, Seko Fofana has only started one game and averages 30 minutes per game.

Signed from Lens for £21.6m, as things stand he is on track to be a flop.

Therefore he ranks last in our list.
