For some time, we have been hearing about major soccer players receiving astronomical offers from the Saudi Pro League. Whether it is Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. being offered $1 billion or Kylian Mbappé receiving a €700 million bid, the Kingdom has been striving to get players into the country.
The latest of these attempts is a major bid for England striker Ivan Toney.
The Bid
The England striker Ivan Toney accepted a £40 million deal from Al Ahli to join their club. He agreed to personal terms with the club for a 3-year deal and is expected to do a medical checkup before flying to Saudi Arabia to meet the team.
So, Who Is Ivan Toney?
Known as the Brentford striker, Toney has been in the soccer world for some time now, making his first-team debut in 2012 when he became the youngest player to represent Northampton Town.
These days, he is the most talked-about player in England. Last season, he scored 20 goals in 33 league games, earning his international debut for England.
He was responsible for 34.5% of the Brentford club’s goals during the 2022/2023 Premier League, making him an integral part of the team. He also scored goals across all four divisions in the English football pyramid and showcased that he can play in the top flight ever since he moved to Brentford.
Seeing how he is such a dominant force on the English team, he will become a highly valued player when he joins Al Ahli. Keep an eye out for him, as he may just propel the Saudi League club forward.
