Toney: 'My Numbers Speak for Themselves' — Al-Ahli Star Stakes His Claim for England's World Cup Squad
58 goals in 76 matches — Toney is making noise from Saudi Arabia and wants Tuchel to hear it.
Out of the Premier League, out of England's picture — but far from written off.
Ivan Toney hasn't worn the national shirt since June 2025, but the 29-year-old striker isn't fading quietly. The Al-Ahli forward is the Saudi Pro League's top scorer this season with 20 goals in 20 matches — ahead of Ronaldo, João Félix, and Retegui — and has racked up 58 goals in just 76 matches since leaving England.
"My numbers speak for themselves," Toney told Sky Sports News, making it clear he considers his form more than enough to earn a seat on Tuchel's plane this summer. Despite rumors of a January return to the Premier League, he stayed put — content, settled, and scoring with ease.
Tuchel may prefer players from a more competitive league. But ignoring a striker in this kind of form won't be easy either.
