English striker Ivan Tony, a forward for Al-Ahli Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, faced a shocking incident during his short visit to London, where his luxury car was vandalized in an attempted theft that greatly angered him.
Tony, who joined Al-Ahli last summer and led the team to win the AFC Champions League after defeating Kawasaki Frontale 2-0, shared a photo of his "Lamborghini Urus" valued at over £197,000 with a broken window, expressing his frustration by saying: "This is why I hate London".
The player did not reveal whether any belongings were stolen from inside the car or not, but the incident sparked wide reactions on social media platforms, especially since Tony had appeared three days earlier training with his children Ivan Junior and Ikari, proudly showing off his car.
It is worth mentioning that Tony, born in Northampton, spent 4 seasons in London with Brentford before moving to the Saudi league. He had previously expressed his admiration for Jeddah, likening it to Milton Keynes where he had lived before.
In an exceptional season with Al-Ahli, Ivan Tony contributed to the team winning the AFC Champions League and achieved the second-highest goal tally in the Saudi league with 23 goals, trailing only by two goals behind the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, a striker for Al-Nassr.
