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 still needs a lot of professional players who are very experienced to be able to compete with top teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr. The arrival of Ivan Toney and Firmino does not mean that they can provide great results and compared to the Al Nassr and Al Hilal squads, it seems that Al Ahli is still too far for me.
Al Ahli still needs quality defenders and all quality players must be brought in from Europe and currently Al Ahli is still having difficulty bringing in quality defenders. And that means Al Ahli might be able to compete but not to get the SPL title.
But at least bringing in Ivan Toney will improve Al Ahli attack line and there is no doubt to bet on Al Ahli victory when playing against a slightly weaker team.
