He's the talk of the Asian Cup tournament and now Omar Abdulrahman has left the door open to the prospect of playing in the A-League.

Abdulrahman is fast emerging as one of the stars of the 2015 competition and played an instrumental role in the UAE's 4-1 victory over Qatar in their Group C opener.

But it was his performance in the UAE's 2-1 defeat of Bahrain on Thursday that firmly cemented his place as one of the competition's top emerging players.

The man of the match pounced on a loose Bahraini pass in a lethal set-up for Ali Mabkhout, who secured one of the fastest goals in Asian Cup history in the 14th second.

The 23-year-old has been linked to moves to big name European clubs in the past.

But while he's happy playing for Emirati club Al-Ain for now, a move isn't entirely off the table.

"I am very happy for this (attention) but my goal at the moment is to do our best for this competition," he told reporters after the Bahrain win.

"But if the coach wants me to come to play in Australia I will not say no."
