Toney Decides on Leaving Al-Ahli
The Englishman Ivan Toney, striker for Al-Ahli, affirmed his commitment to staying in the Saudi Roshn League, denying any immediate intention to return to the English fields despite circulating rumors.
Tony is having an impressive season, having scored 20 goals in the league, leading the top scorers' list by two goals ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, reflecting his strong offensive presence.
He also played a crucial role in Al-Ahly's crowning as the 2025 AFC Champions League winners, after scoring the winning goal in the semi-final against Al-Hilal.
In statements to Sky Sports, the striker explained that the idea of returning to England might be considered in the future, but he is currently focused on winning more championships with Al Ahly, given his long-term contract.
He pointed out that he feels very comfortable within the club, both on a professional and personal level, emphasizing that his current statistics give him no reason to consider leaving at this stage.
On the national team front, Toni only received limited minutes with the England team under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, playing for two minutes against Senegal in June 2025.
The English striker emphasized that the dream of participating in the 2026 World Cup is still alive, affirming that continuing to score and deliver strong performances is the only way to make a name for himself again, regardless of any other considerations.
