During the last summer transfer window, Ivan Toney left Brentford to engage with Al-Ahli, Saudi Arabia. A choice that he absolutely does not regret, on the contrary, the English striker did not hesitate to praise the merits of the Saudi Pro League.
In line with Cristiano Ronaldo's statements, Al-Nassr star who has often highlighted the quality of the local championship, the native of Northampton went so far as to compare the Saudi league to the prestigious Premier League. For him, the first has nothing to envy the second.
Two comparable championships
“(Cristiano) Ronaldo has traveled the world and probably knows much more than me, because I only played in the Premier League, in Championship and League One and Two. For me, the pro League is comparable to the Premier League ”said the former Bees goalscorer to Guardian.
And Toney does not stop there, he is convinced that her team would have his say in England. “If Al-Ahli was in the Premier League, we would give ourselves and we would be close to the Top 4”he assured.
