Ivan Toney believes that the Saudi Pro League ‘is equal to the Premier League’ in the midst of the languages of the competition of talent.
Toney left the Premier League to sign for Al-Ahli last summer, with the attacker who participated in the Saudi-Arab side of Brentford in a £ 40 million deal. The 29-year-old scored 34 goals in all competitions last season and was part of the team that won the AFC Champions League.
The Saudi Pro League has invested huge funds in developing their domestic game, although several stars have been criticized because they moved to the middle at the height of their career. However, Toney agrees with comments from Cristiano Ronaldo that the SPL is now one of the best domestic competitions of the competition.
He believes that the Pro League is ‘on the same foot’ with the Premier League and said that Al-Ahli, who has ex-prime minister competition, would challenge Edouard Mendy and Riyad Mahrez in their current team, for the Champions League places in England.
“Ronaldo has been all over the world and probably knows much more than me, because I only played in the Premier League, the championship and the competitions one and two. For me, [the Pro League] is on the same footing with the Premier League, “Toney said The guardian.
“If [Al-Ahli] Were in the Premier League, we would try well and we would be close to the top four. It is a high -quality competition and people should not put their nose on. We saw Al-Hilal playing against Man City and beat them.
“I would tweet, but I would have been killed at home, so I kept my mouth shut. But people saw the quality of Hilal. The standard in Saudi Arabia is high. They can play football here. The players here are not as well -known as in the Premier League, but there are many who can play there.”
