I think Al Ahli did a very smart move by signing Ivan Toney. This player was linked with some top EPL teams, but finally he moves to Al Ahli. Ivan Toney was one of top strikers in EPL, now he will be the machine goal of Al Hilal. Anyway, I think Toney and Firmino can play together. Toney must play as a striker, meanhile Firmino can play as an attacking midfielder or a second striker.
Al Ahli did go for other players but it turns out the Englishman showned them greenlights on time. Ivan Toney is average player but based on his exceptional abilities, I think he’s gradually turning to be world class player, although he played for average club like Brentford. European players have ditched into the SPL and seeing it as a league for their retirement in their football career. First it was the China league, now we’re watching the Saudi Arabia Pro League housing these players mostly the big names, players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and more players.
Although Ivan Toney is often associated with Arsenal but it seems that Arsenal are not really interested in recruiting him so far, so I think that the fact that he is often associated with big teams actually makes his name more popular as a striker, compared fr other strikers, I think Ivan Toney is not a very fantastic striker so far so if he continues to stay at Brentford maybe his career will get worse later, fortunately he took the right choice to join Al Ahli at this time, apart from the competition in the Arab League which is not tight as competitive as the English League of course at this time he is no longer anxious about his future, Ivan Toney, who was recruited by Al Ahli after failing to get Osimhen, is contracted for four seasons and reportedly earns a salary of almost 500,000 pounds per week including bonuses, and we can compare how far the salary increase he is currently receiving compared to when he was still playing at Brentford which only paid 50,000 pounds per week, so I think money is currently the main attraction for any European player who moves to the Arab League.
