"Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the attacking unit with the signing of Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney. The 29-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League, and Chelsea are interested in signing the player as well. According to a report from TEAMtalk, the English attacker is willing to accept wages of around 200,000 a week in order to move back to England."
"Thomas Frank is an admirer of the player, having worked with him at Brentford. He believes that Toney could prove to be a quality acquisition for the north London club. Tottenham have already had preliminary talks regarding a potential move in January. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done. They need to bring in a reliable goal scorer, and Toney could be the ideal acquisition. He has proven himself in the Premier League and in Saudi Arabia."
"He has the qualities to improve Tottenham in the final third. He will add goals to the side, and his ability to bring others into the play could prove to be vital as well. Can Spurs sign Toney?

The Blues have recently invested in two strikers, and signing another one would not make a lot of sense."
Tottenham Hotspur aim to strengthen their attack by pursuing Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney, who is open to returning to the Premier League for around £200,000 per week. Chelsea have shown interest as well, but Thomas Frank, who previously worked with Toney at Brentford, rates him highly and wants him at Tottenham. Preliminary talks have taken place about a January move, though Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell mid-season. Toney offers proven Premier League and Saudi experience, goal-scoring ability, and link-up play, and would seek regular game time at a club aligned with Frank's style.
