Tottenham Reportedly Readying £52–60m Ivan Toney Bid as Chelsea Monitor

A long contract at Al Ahli leaves a January exit uncertain.

Overview

  • Multiple reports citing Fichajes say Spurs are preparing an offer in the £52m–£60m range to bring the Al Ahli striker back in January, with Chelsea maintaining interest.
  • Al Ahli paid about £40m for Toney in 2024, he is under contract until 2028, and the Saudi club are described as unwilling to sanction a mid-season sale or loan.
  • Toney’s Saudi Pro League form remains strong, with nine goals and two assists in 12 appearances this season, reinforcing his appeal to Premier League suitors.
  • CaughtOffside reports the forward is content in Saudi Arabia and not pushing to leave, and that Thomas Frank’s Spurs admire him but do not view him as a top priority.
  • Tottenham’s search for a proven No. 9 reflects injuries to Dominic Solanke and Richarlison, while Toney’s England ambitions are cited as a potential motivation for a return.
