'Never say never' | Toney open to Premier League return and his World Cup dream

Ivan Toney discusses his dream of representing England at the World Cup and whether he will return to the UK in the future to play his football...

Toney leaves door open for PL return and reveals England World Cup hopes

Al Ahli striker and England World Cup hopeful Ivan Toney has refused to rule out a return to the Premier League after turning down January offers in favour of staying in Saudi Arabia.

Over 18 months on from his shock 40m move from Brentford to Al Ahli in August 2024, Toney revealed that despite having the opportunity to leave the club and rejoin a Premier League side, he's enjoying life in Saudi.

Toney finished second to just Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Saudi Pro League golden boot last season as Al Ahli won the Asian Champions League, before lifting the Saudi Super Cup in August. The 29-year-old netted 30 times across all competitions in his debut season in Saudi Arabia.

"Never say never," Toney told Your Site Newswhen quizzed on a potential return to England.

"I have goals I want to achieve here first, the club have signed me for a long period of time.

"I want to repay them and bring trophies. In football and life, you never know what's around the corner. Who knows what the next step is?

"I'm comfortable here and like being here. I'm doing well, my numbers speak for themselves and I'm settled. I'm enjoying my football and don't see why I'd leave to go back to where I was."

Van Dijk says Salah is still so important for Liverpool

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has stressed the continued importance Mohamed Salah has as the club look to make a success of their season.

The Egypt international had one of his best games of a so-far underwhelming campaign with a penalty and an assist in the 3-0 win over Brighton in which Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai scored as Liverpool cruised into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Salah has started every match since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations. Prior to his departure he was benched for four and omitted completely for one.

That was after going public with his frustrations and suggesting his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down, casting doubts over his immediate future.

The situation appears to have eased during his absence on international duty and he now appears to be more in tune with what Slot requires from him.

He may have scored only two club goals since November 1 but Van Dijk insisted Salah had other qualities which were not so visible.

I think Mo is still so important for us. He is still a leader and important for me personally, as a captain, to have around and to have him on the pitch as his presence benefits the team, he said.

He always gives the team more than goals. Theres obviously a lot of focus on his goals at the moment and thats also part of his life because he sets the standards so extremely high that when he doesnt score as much he gets criticised.

For us nothing has changed, we all want him to score and we all want us to do well as a team but its not been an easy season and the only thing we and he can do is keep going and try to be important.

There is a lot more than just to be out there trying to score goals, there are so many things people dont see that are important to try to become a successful team.

Despite the apparent truce off the field doubts remain over whether Salah will see out the final year of his contract, especially if his numbers do not improve.

But Van Dijk wants him to at least see out his current deal, adding: The full focus is on trying to make this season a success first and then you never know what happens.

I always want Mo to stay because Im a good friend and weve been through the highs and not-so-highs together for so many years.
