Ivan Toney fumes 'I HATE London' after England star's £197K Lamborghini is broken into after returning from his new home in Saudi Arabia
Ivan Toney suffered damage to his prize Lamborghini on his return to London from the former Brentford striker's new home in Saudi Arabia. The England international booked a move to Al-Ahli last summer amid feverish speculation over his future plans. After inking an alleged £20million-a-year deal with the Saudi Pro League side, Toney jetted off to join his new side in the Kingdom's second city, Jeddah. The 29-year-old has since secured the Asian Champions League title after their 2-0 victory against Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale. The move to Saudi came just over six months on from his return to football after Toney had served his eight-month ban for breaching the Football Association's gambling regulations. Toney's 232 breaches of the association's laws took place between 2017 and 2021, and the player was later diagnosed with a gambling addiction. His new home in Saudi Arabia outlaws gambling altogether. But Toney has since returned to the United Kingdom during his off-season - and appeared to soon discover why he opted for a move away from his home country. Sharing a picture on his Instagram Story, Toney showed that the window of his Lamborghini Urus - worth an upwards of £197,000 - had been smashed and the car broken into by would-be thieves. It is not known whether Toney had anything stolen from inside the vehicle, but the forward was incensed, captioning an image of the damage: 'This is why I hate London'. Just three days before the crime, Toney had shown off his car in a video posted on social media of the striker training with his two sons, Ivan Junior and Ikari, who he shares with long-term partner Katie Bio. Toney, who was born in Northampton, previously made the capital his home for the four seasons he spent at Brentford, after his move to the side from Peterborough United. But in November last year, Toney is believed to have revealed his new fondness for Saudi stemmed from Jeddah's supposed similarities to another British city. It is claimed that Toney thinks that his new home shares the same qualities he liked in Milton Keynes, where he used to live - and started his relationship with Bio. Toney and Bio are believed to have received special dispensation to live together out of wedlock in the devout Muslim country - receiving the same privileges as Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.

England star fumes 'this is why I hate London' after his car is broken into
An England star has made his displeasure at the capital all too clear after his car was broken into. Striker Ivan Toney is back in London during his summer break playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. But it seems he had less than a warm welcome after returning to his parked car to find it had been broken into. Ivan shared a picture of his black car on Instagram, which had its front and rear windows shattered by thieves. Alongside the picture was a simple message: 'This is why I hate London.' During his return to the capital, Ivan was pictured with fellow footballers Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho at Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park. It's not known whether thieves managed to steal anything from the car. Ivan joined Al-Ahli from Brentford last year in a deal worth £40million, and he's scored 30 goals in his debut season with them. More Trending Despite his damaged car causing some inconvenience, it's still up in the air whether he'll return to London and retain his place in the England squad in September. Ivan was called in to play in England's matches against Andorra and Senegal in June, but he stayed on the bench during the 1-0 win over Andorra, and only played for a few minutes in the 3-1 defeat to Senegal. England's next match will be held at Wembley Stadium and the team will take on Andorra again. In September England will play Serbia, and in October they will play Wales and Latvia.
