Israeli footballer Dia Saba is making waves in Turkey, leading the newly promoted team of Amedspor to the top of the Turkish Super Lig. Saba recently scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory against Samsunspor, propelling his team to the league's summit. Initially met with skepticism when he joined Amedspor in the second division last August, Saba has since been instrumental in their historic promotion to the top flight.

Turkish media has been effusive in their praise for Saba. The newspaper Yeni Safak published a feature highlighting his transformation from being called "the chubby one" to a star player, noting that while his appearance initially sparked debate, his on-field performance has silenced all critics. Social media users have gone further, dubbing him the "Maradona of Amedspor" after his match-winning goal.

Saba has contributed significantly to Amedspor's success this season, with five goals and one assist in the Turkish league. He has been directly involved in a goal in each of the last four matches. Amedspor currently leads the league but has played one more game than Galatasaray, who they are scheduled to face in a crucial match on November 7th.
