The former Brentford striker currently plays for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, having left the UK in the summer of 2024 despite having interest from several top clubs in Europe.
Toney has bagged 28 goals across all competitions this term, with 20 of those in the league as he competes with Al-Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo for the golden boot.
Tuchel could consider Toney
Now, in the lead up to the World Cup, Toney has opened up on his England chances as he competes with the likes of Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane for a spot in the side.
“It would mean a lot (to go to the World Cup). I have never played at a World Cup. It would be a dream; everyone dreams of that. If we were to win it, that would be so big for the country. You have visions of what could happen. If it comes true, it would be a blessing.
“There are great players in the squad and some top English strikers, so I guess everyone will have an opportunity, as everyone will be able to adapt to the heat, but you can say I'm a bit more used to it than others. It's tough because you have to change your game slightly.
“You can't be running around crazy because otherwise you run out of steam. You have to be more strategic with the runs you make. I guess I won't have to adapt. I've played in 30-plus degrees here, and I feel like I'm adapted to it.”
“All I can do is keep scoring goals. That gives me the best chance possible. It could be my last chance. It's (about) whatever is best for the country; the coach will pick the team and you have to respect that.”
Toney back to the Premier League?
Toney also spoke on him possibly returning to the Premier League, a move that would help his chances of catching Tuchel’s attention.
“Never say never,” he said in response to coming back to the Premier League. “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?”
