Two Algerian players are establishing themselves as creative references in the Italian league. Their performances could also redefine selection choices in the coming weeks.
Currently, two Algerians stand out among the top creators in Serie A. Rafik Belghali leads in assists per 90 minutes with an average of 0.78, followed by Paulo Dybala (0.73), Ivan Ilic (0.71), and Andy Diouf (0.68). Farès Ghedjemis completes the Top 5 with 0.62 assists per 90 minutes, showcasing a strong Algerian presence in this ranking.
Belghali is confirming his excellent start to the season with Torino. In six appearances in Serie A, the Algerian defender has already recorded one goal and three assists in 349 minutes. A remarkable efficiency for a defender, who has provided two assists against Parma before scoring against Monza.
Ghedjemis, on the other hand, has just skyrocketed his statistics. The Frosinone winger now has three assists in six matches and 436 minutes of competition. All three of his assists came during the thrilling 4-4 draw against Atalanta, a performance that allowed him to set a record with his team.
These performances are sure to attract the attention of national team coaches. Belghali now seems indispensable for upcoming gatherings, while Ghedjemis is also progressing in the right direction. However, competition remains particularly fierce in his position, especially on the wings, but his rise in Serie A could quickly change the situation.
