Although rumors had Cristiano Ronaldo out of Saudi Arabia with the possibility of returning to the Premier League with Newcastle, the star playing in the Middle East who could return to the best league in the world is English striker Ivan Toney, who belongs to Al Ahli, but would now be wanted by Chelsea and Tottenham.
Ivan Toney, the once-rising star of the English Premier League, has found himself at the center of a transfer saga that has captivated football fans worldwide. His move to the Saudi Pro League, specifically Al-Ahli, has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about his future.
Hailing from Northampton, England, Toney's journey through the football ranks has been nothing short of remarkable. His ability to find the back of the net consistently caught the eye of scouts, and he soon found himself playing for Brentford in the Championship. With the Bees, Toney's goal-scoring exploits were instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League.
His Premier League debut was a resounding success, as he continued to impress with his clinical finishing and aerial prowess. Toney quickly established himself as one of the league's most formidable strikers, earning him a call-up to the England national team.
However, Toney's time in the Premier League was cut short when he made a surprising move to the Saudi Pro League. His transfer to Al-Ahli was met with mixed reactions, with many fans and pundits questioning the motives behind his decision. While some speculated that it was a purely financial move, others suggested that he was seeking a new challenge in a different league.
Despite his initial success in Saudi Arabia, reports have emerged suggesting that Toney has struggled to adapt to the league and the culture. The quality of the league, while improving, is not on par with the Premier League, and Toney may have found the challenge less stimulating.
Given the recent influx of talent into the Saudi Pro League, there has been speculation that Toney may look to return to the Premier League. Several top clubs have been linked with a move for the English striker, who could add a proven goalscorer to their ranks.
Toney's future remains uncertain. While he may have enjoyed a successful stint in the Saudi Pro League, the allure of the Premier League and the opportunity to play at the highest level may prove too tempting to resist.
