Mohammed Alí Amar (born 5 November 1966), known as Nayim, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central midfielder.
He scored a last-minute goal for Real Zaragoza in the 1995 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final against Arsenal, with a 40-yard lob in the final minute of extra time. Over the course of eight seasons in La Liga, he played 130 games and scored five goals.
Having started his professional career with Barcelona, Nayim also represented Tottenham for five years.
At the age of 12, Nayim left his hometown of Ceuta and joined FC Barcelona's youth academy La Masia, as the main squad was managed by Terry Venables, but had very few first-team opportunities over the course of two seasons. He arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in November 1988 originally on loan (11 league appearances during the 1988–89 campaign, scoring twice), signing the following year for £400,000; his first goal for the club came in a 2–0 win at Southampton, and he also found the net in Spurs' 3–0 home success over West Ham United.
In 1989–90 Nayim made a total of 23 appearances, helping Tottenham to a third-place finish. The League Cup offered him his first experience of English cup competition, playing in four games en route to the quarter-finals and scoring three goals.
