""Ivan Toney is a top player, a top striker," he said. "The rumours around his possible exit in January are not based on reality. It's just not true. We're counting on him, it makes zero sense to address this subject in November." Toney has recently been linked with a number of clubs, most strongly with Tottenham Hotspur, where his former coach at Brentford Thomas Frank is currently battling a lack of attacking options."
"Both Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo-Muani are out of action, with an ankle and a jaw problem, respectively. At Spurs, they consider Toney the perfect man to step in, but there have been concerns over their ability to satisfy his wage demands. Covering what he earns in Saudi Arabia and the UK taxes on that amount, they would need to pay close to £900,000 per week. Still, it seems the 29-year-old won't be returning to England just yet."
Al-Ahli will not part ways with Ivan Toney during the upcoming winter transfer window. Rumours of his possible exit in January are not based on reality and the club is counting on him. Toney has been linked to several clubs, most strongly Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham face an attacking shortage with Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo-Muani sidelined by an ankle and a jaw injury, respectively. Spurs view Toney as a potential replacement but confronting his Saudi wages plus UK taxes would require nearly £900,000 per week. The 29-year-old appears unlikely to return to England soon.
