Tottenham Weigh January Move for Ivan Toney as Thomas Frank Leaves Door Open

Reports point to Al Ahli resistance plus high wages, making a January switch uncertain.

Overview

  • TalkSPORT reports Spurs are considering a January approach for Ivan Toney to address their lack of goals.
  • Manager Thomas Frank, who coached Toney at Brentford, has publicly said the striker would be welcome to reunite.
  • Tottenham’s attack has misfired this season, with Dominic Solanke injured, Randal Kolo Muani yet to score, and Mathys Tel limited to one league goal.
  • Toney has 41 goals in 59 appearances for Al Ahli, including 11 in 15 this season, and he helped the club win the AFC Champions League.
  • Al Ahli are reported to be reluctant to approve a mid-season exit, the player may need to push for a move, and his reported £400,000-a-week tax-free salary complicates any deal.
