Sports media personality Hamza Al-Sayed expected that Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição, the head coach of Al-Ittihad, will quickly move to demand the signing of a distinguished striker following the painful loss to Al-Hilal in the classic match within the Roshan Saudi League.

Al-Sayed clarified that Al-Ittihad is in urgent need of a top-class striker capable of making a difference in big matches, emphasizing that the lack of offensive effectiveness was evident in the recent encounter against Al-Hilal.

The media figure indicated that the club's management should immediately start studying the available options and communicating with player agents before the upcoming winter transfer period to secure a strong attacking deal.

Al-Sayed added that Al-Ittihad faces difficult challenges in the upcoming phase, foremost among them is the Asian Elite Championship, which requires the availability of elements capable of decisive performances and showing high levels of readiness and harmony.

He confirmed that competing teams possess a balanced backbone that allows them to manage matches with stability and consistency, which Al-Ittihad currently lacks, necessitating urgent action to correct the course.

He concluded his remarks by stating that the team's continued performance in this manner without strengthening the attacking line will make it difficult to achieve the aspirations of the fans, urging the management to support Conceição with the elements he needs before it's too late.
