WHAT HAPPENED?
England international Toney bid farewell to the Premier League in August 2024 when completing a £40 million ($54m) transfer away from Brentford. He headed to the Saudi Pro League and penned a lucrative contract.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
With club football in the Middle East shutting down during the post-season, Toney has headed back to his homeland. The Northampton native made a point of returning to the English capital, where he once represented the Bees.

The 29-year-old is wishing he had not bothered, with his luxury vehicle being targeted by opportunistic thieves. They smashed the window of his car, leaving Toney to say on Instagram: “This is why I hate London.”
