In August last year, he left Brentford in the English Premier League (EPL) for a transfer fee of 40 million pounds (about 75 billion won) and moved to Saudi Arabia Al Ahli. He had to accept his fate as he moved to Saudi Arabia. He has never been called by the England team since.
During the A-match period, Tony took a vacation and flew to London, England. Fun and birthday parties are the talk of the town. Britain's 'The Sun' reported on the 18th (Korea time) that Tony spent over 100,000 pounds (about 187 million won) on his 29th birthday party and offered free alcohol to female guests until 6 a.m.
He rented an entire club in London. Vodka and tequila costing 2,000 pounds (about 3.75 million won) were provided to all tables. Saudi Arabia is a country where drinking is prohibited. Even during the 2034 Saudi World Cup, he has already declared that alcohol is not allowed.
Tony is relieving the 'stress' in London. Tony's confidant at the party said "It's only natural that he comes home and has a good time. If you do that in Saudi Arabia, you'll be sentenced to 10 years in prison, he joked.
Tony's birthday party was attended by Bayern Munich's Michael Olise, Chelsea's Trevor Chalobah and Liverpool's Joe Gomez. In the case of Gomez, he ran straight after losing the Carabao Cup (League Cup) final to Newcastle United 1-2 at Wembley Stadium. The famous rapper's performance also drew attention.

Tony's potential exploded after moving to Brentford in the second part of 2020. He led Brentford to promotion to the top flight with 31 goals in the 2020-2021 Championship.
And he scored 12 goals in the EPL in the 2021-2022 season and 20 goals in the 2022-2023 season. However, he was suspended for eight months by the FA in May 2023 for allegedly taking 232 offences. While the disciplinary action was lifted in January last year, he scored four goals in 17 EPL games last season.
Tony disappeared from the England squad at the end of Euro 2024. Al Ahli has 22 goals in 33 games, living up to its name value. He is known to receive an annual salary of 25 million euros (39.4 billion won) from Al Ahli.
It is incomparable to players from England who play in Europe, including Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). Tony is ranked No. 1 in England's annual salary.
