Jon Toral

Jon Miquel Toral Harper (born 5 February 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Indian Super League club Mumbai City.

[12] Toral was called into the first team squad for pre-season friendly matches against Boreham Wood and New York Red Bulls in July 2014, making a start and a substitute appearance respectively.

[12] Assigned the number 17 shirt, Toral made the first professional appearance of his career with a start in a 1–0 League Cup second-round defeat to West London rivals Fulham on 26 August; he lasted 63 minutes before being substituted by Toumani Diagouraga.

[18] He made his league debut in the following match against Rotherham United,[19] coming on for goalscorer Andre Gray and assisting Nick Proschwitz for the Bees' second goal in a 2–0 win.

[21] He scored the first senior goal of his career with what proved to be a consolation in a 3–1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers on 25 October, just two minutes after coming on as a late substitute for Alex Pritchard.

[24] He scored the first senior hat-trick of his career to send the Bees on the way to a 4–0 victory over Blackpool on 24 February, and took his tally to four goals in three matches in a 4–1 defeat of Huddersfield Town a week later.

[27] The following week, he opened the scoring after 10 minutes of the visit to Burnley with a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area after Donaldson flicked on a clearance from the goalkeeper; the match ended 2–2.

[32] He returned to the starting eleven and to goalscoring in the 5–2 away win at Fulham on 7 November, when manager Gary Rowett described him as "the best player on the pitch, in terms of his composure and his vision.

[39] He scored his first goal in Spain on 30 November to win a Copa del Rey match at home to Osasuna, with a shot hit with the outside of his left foot described by Marca's reporter as the finest seen for Granada in months.

[45] After six years as an Arsenal player without making a single first-team appearance for the club, Toral signed a three-year deal with Hull City of the Championship on 24 August 2017.

[51] He made his second debut as a substitute in the opening fixture of the season, a 1–0 defeat at home to fourth-tier Cambridge United in the EFL Cup,[52] and started the first four Championship matches.

[53] He started two games in a row in early December: in what the Birmingham Mail called "an inexplicable difference to the form he had showed so far this season", he scored both goals in the 2–1 win away to Reading.

[54] The player himself attributed his improvement to hard work, getting used to how his team-mates play, and renewed confidence from being given consecutive starts, particularly after the arrival of a rival for the number 10 role in Alen Halilović.

[55] With Karanka reportedly concerned about his fitness, Toral was omitted from the next match; he started five more by the end of January, after which he fell behind Halilović in the pecking order.
