RIYADH: Al-Hilal’s French striker Bafetimbi Gomis has confirmed that his future at the club remains unresolved, while at the same time revealing his delight at helping the Riyadh giants retain the Saudi Pro League (SPL) title on Sunday.
A record-extending 17th title was achieved with a 1-0 win over Al-Taawoun thanks to Gomis’ fifth-minute goal at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.
“I feel like all Hilal fans feel. We are very happy to win this league, which was not easy. I am not the champion; the champion is Al-Hilal. I am happy about that and now I need to end the season and celebrate with the fans and then we will see,” he told Arabic sports daily Arriyadiyah.
