Al Ahli's Ivan Toney has one eye on the Saudi Pro League title this season and the other on pipping Cristiano Ronaldo to become the league's top goalscorer.
Ronaldo has taken home the award for top scorer the last two seasons and standing in his way for a third consecutive Saudi Golden Boot, which would be a league record for a European player, is former Brentford and England striker Toney.
Toney sits top of the standings with 23 goals in 23 appearances with Ronaldo in third on 21 and Julián Quiñones in second with 22 strikes this term.
"Every time I step onto the pitch, I feel like I'm going to score, I've got that confidence at the moment," Toney told talkSPORT.
"But that's always good, having a striker in a team that feels like it's going to score goals and can score goals.
"And obviously, it's helping at the moment considering where we are in the table, so it's good."
A tussle for top goalscorer isn't the only battle Toney and Ronaldo are embroiled in as Al Ahli sit just one point ahead of Al Nassr at the top of the league with Toney hoping his goals can power his side to the league title.

"And when you're this far through the season and you're close to the top of the goal scoring chart, it's kind of like, 'OK, let me stay here now,'" Toney added.
"And of course, we know goals win games and that's what I'm trying to do for the team and help us in the league. So yeah, I want to try and stay there now.
"And obviously, the more goals I get, the more chance we've got of winning games and it'll help us in the league as well, so that's my main goal."
