Ivan Toney, the Al-Ahli striker, has made a surprising return to the England squad under coach Thomas Tuchel after an impressive season in Saudi Arabia, scoring 30 goals in 44 matches. Tuchel justified this decision by praising Toney's achievements, such as winning the Asian Champions League and his overall contributions. Toney himself maintained a positive outlook regarding his international prospects, believing that strong performances would keep him in the manager's thoughts. As high-profile players have moved to the Saudi league, Toney's inclusion sets a precedent for recognizing talent, regardless of the league's perceived quality.
“He deserves to be with us and I am convinced because he scored over 20 goals for his team this season,” Tuchel stated, highlighting Toney's exceptional performance.
Toney stated, “No, I never think negative, I always think positive, no matter the situation on and off the pitch,” reflecting his mindset on performance and opportunity.
