Landed in Al-Hilal at the end of August 2018 after a passage on the side of Galatasaray (32 goals and 10 assists in 42 matches in all competitions), Bafétimbi Gomis (36 years old) continue to take care of his statistics, far from the biggest championships Europeans.

In short, now 36, Bafétimbi Gomis has won everything. Like a career that commands respect. At the end of the contract in six months, the lion Gomis is in any case not satisfied and intends to roar again. Suitors have already positioned themselves, to be continued …
