Players to Watch

Ivan Toney (⁠Al Ahli)

Managing to land Ivan Toney was a win in itself. Toney who was linked with numerous top European clubs decided to test his skills in the Saudi Pro League by joining Al Ahli. The move proved to be fruitful even though it is still too early to say.

The 28-year-old centre-forward has already contributed with two goals and an assist in two league appearances. The former Brentford striker will hope to help his side move further in the King Cup.

Yassine Amri (Al Jandal)

The 29-year-old winger from Tunisia should aid the cause of beating the Saudi Pro League side in the upcoming match. The new signing hasn’t featured much yet, having played just a single match so far in the Saudi First Division League 2024-25. He did manage to provide an assist in that single-game appearance by coming off the bench. We could see him get his first start in this Round of 32-cup tie.
