The name of English striker Ivan Toney has returned to the spotlight in the Premier League as the winter transfer market approaches, despite his remarkable performance with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, according to the website "CaughtOffside."

The site clarified that the 29-year-old player has continued his strong displays since moving to the Saudi league, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists in 12 matches this season, making him one of the standout strikers in the Roshan Saudi League.

Toney's impressive performance has attracted the attention of clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, especially as both teams struggle with offensive crises and significant injuries. The player is considered an ideal option due to his previous experience in the English league with Brentford, but the deal seems complicated from a contractual and financial perspective.

According to the same source, Toney is happy with his current situation in Saudi Arabia and is not pushing to leave, especially since he is under contract with Al Ahli until June 2028.

The report also mentioned that Thomas Frank, the current Tottenham coach who previously managed the player at Brentford, remains one of his biggest fans, but he is not a priority for the club at the moment.

Chelsea, for its part, is considering short-term solutions to bolster its attacking line, but is hesitant to engage in complicated negotiations to sign a player who is stable in the Middle East.

The report confirmed that the possibility of Toney leaving in January remains slim, especially since Al Ahli has no intention of letting him go mid-season. Despite the potential idea of a loan, the Saudi club has so far rejected any official offers in this regard.

The report also noted that Toney still aspires to return to Europe in the future to revive his chances of joining the England national team before the 2026 World Cup, but his lucrative contract and stable life in Saudi Arabia make a return in the upcoming winter quite unlikely.
