The beaten finalists of the 2015 Asian Confederations Cup (AFC) Champions League, Al Ahli, had only one thing in mind when they signed Senegalese striker Makhete Diop from Al Dhafra in December 2016 - goals!
For the prolific Senegalese has an envious record in the Emirati top-flight. Before his move to Al Ahli, he had scored 77 goals in 109 appearances.
And goals are exactly what Al Ahli got in return when they started their AFC Champions League 2017 campaign.
