She’s A Baller: Ella Toone

Ella Toone is one of England’s biggest footballing stars, known for her creativity, flair, and composure in front of goal.

She combines technical finesse with fearless energy – the kind of player who thrives under pressure and can unlock a defence with a single pass or moment of brilliance.

What sets Ella Toone apart is her ability to read the game and exploit space, often drifting between the lines to link play and dictate the tempo. With a sharp footballing IQ and an eye for goal, she’s a constant threat whether driving at defenders, threading through balls, or arriving late in the box to finish. Her calm, clinical finishing – showcased on the biggest stages, including her iconic strike in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 Final – has cemented her status as a big-game player.
