AFC Champions League Player of the week: Everton Ribeiro puts in a dazzling performance for Al Ahli

With the matchday four of Asia's primary club competition coming to an end, Goal picks out Al Ahli's Everton Ribeiro as the standout player...

Brazilian midfielder Everton Ribeiro has been a vital cog in United Arab Emirates-based side Al Ahli's midfield ever since his arrival from Brazilian side Cruzeiro in 2015.

The 27-year-old, once heavily linked with Manchester United, went on to play another crucial role for Al Ahli when they played Saudi Arabian side Al Taawoun away at Buraidah. His starring role meant that Al Ahli would claim a 3-1 away victory that would propel them to the top of Group A in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League.
