Yeah, with the arrival of Ivan Toney, Al-Ahli's performance should improve because previously they had some great players. This will make the competition in the Saudi Pro League even fiercer but somehow I'm not sure if Al-Ahli is aiming for the title I mean they can only compete in top 3-4 no more and Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will remain the main candidates to win the title. In this transfer window only a few European players came not like last season,
It seems that Al-Ahli are not very satisfied with Firmino's performance and that's what made them recruit a new striker to be more convincing this season. I don't know for sure why Firmino hasn't been able to do much so far and has only been good at the beginning and there are doubts whether he is finished now? Surely Al-Ahli want to move quickly without having to sacrifice every match to lose points.
The title competition is indeed an event that is always awaited and we know it is very difficult to destroy the dominance of Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr if they do not have the same depth. Here Al-Ahli are trying to do that and actually they are capable if they do it right. What is certain is that Ivan Toney's adaptation must be in line as quickly as possible with his colleagues and I think that is not difficult considering he comes from the most competitive league in the world.
