Thulani Serero – $250k

Thulani Serero, 31, has earned praise for his superb performances in the United Arab Emirates since he departed from Vitesse. He helped secure Al Jazira a third league title and earned Best Foreign Midfielder in the Gulf Pro league as well as Best Foreign Player in 2020/21 in the same campaign.

It means that ‘Cream’, Serero’s nickname as the cream of the crop, will take his side to the Asian Champions League next season, as they aim to compete with the other major clubs on the continent. Al Jazira will certainly be depending on his prowess.
