Ivan Toney, a forward who has made a name for himself in the English football league, is set to join Al Ahli in the Saudi Professional League on loan.
The 29-year-old striker is known for his ability to score goals and create chances, and he has been a key player for Watford since joining the club in 2018. He scored 54 goals in 116 appearances for the Hornets during his time there, and was named the PFA Young Player of the Year at the end of the 2019-20 season.
Toney's move to Al Ahli is a significant one for both him and the club. The Saudi Arabian giants have a reputation for being one of the most successful clubs in world football, with many top players having come through their ranks over the years. By signing Toney on loan, Al Ahli hope to boost their attacking options and compete in the Saudi Professional League.
Toney will be expected to make an immediate impact at Al Ahli,Chinese Super League Home Ground given the club's recent success. The forward has already shown that he can adapt to different styles of play and is capable of scoring goals from all positions on the pitch. He also has experience playing in the Saudi Arabian Premier League, so he should feel comfortable making the transition.
Al Ahli's manager, Paulo Sousa, has spoken highly of Toney's potential and believes that he can help the team achieve their goals this season. "We're very excited to bring Ivan to the club," said Sousa. "He's a proven scorer and we believe he'll help us improve our attack."
Toney's move to Al Ahli is just the latest example of how football is becoming more globalised. Clubs from different countries and continents are increasingly looking to sign foreign players to strengthen their teams and compete at the highest level. With the rise of the Saudi Arabian Pro-League, it looks like Toney's journey is just beginning.
