Hard to think of any Arab players and I am not entirely sure how you would recognize them.

Mo Salah

Isn't Mo Salah Egyptian? thought Egyptians were counted in football terms as Africans

Yes but they speak Arabic.

that wasn't what I was getting at, they are classed as African players as I understood, and I was looking strictly on football terms

[cmg]

The term 'Arab' covers a multitude of people and is imprecisely defined.
Millions of North Africans would see themselves as Arabs.
The Arab League (political, not football!) of Nations includes Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Sudan, Tunisia as well as the more obvious Middle East states.

Surely Mahrez considered best arab player at the moment

[Rhys Lightning 63]

If we're talking strictly Middle East, then I'd go for Ali Al-Habsi (I've been to Oman a few times, that man is seen as a god over there)

If we include North Africa, then it's Mahrez

Surely Mahrez considered best arab player at the moment

He won African player of the year last year (2016)

I would say Al-Habsi too

[Flume]

I don't think Abdulrahman is the best Arab player around. Sure, he's got skills and has been described in the past as being a promising talent but he's played in the UAE his whole career thus far.
It's gotta be Mahrez if we are speaking about the wider Arab community or Al-Habsi if we are talking about the Middle East.
I'd like to see Abdulrahman prove that he is the best player in Asia by proving himself in Europe then I'd take him seriously

Lived in Dubai for 7 years. Went to several matches and it is a very different style of football. Understandably, due to the temperatures and humidity levels there is a lot of slower paced play.  We saw Abdulrahman once, some neat tricks but didn't really impress in what was a rather dull match.

I agree that Al Habsi is a strong contender, he has proven himself at the highest level. Obviously Mahrez if North African players are included, no brainer.
