Ivan Toney is unlikely to head to Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham's journey to find a new striker is set to be tougher.

The British Football Insider exclusively reported on the 18th (Korea time) "Tony is unlikely to leave Al-Ahli (Saudi) in the near future as he has a high-value contract leading up to the end of the 2027-2028 season."

Tottenham are known to be looking for a new striker in the transfer market in January next year amid the recent ups and downs in goal-scoring. Tottenham have said they are willing to sell either Dominic Solanke or Hishalisson to raise funds for Tony. Tony is receiving strong interest from Tottenham as well as other clubs in the Premier League, and Everton is one of them.

Tony's high weekly pay is a major stumbling block for Tottenham to sign him.

Al-Ahli does not want to lose Tony, and the player himself seems to be satisfied with Saudi life. The majority of the opinions are that recruitment negotiations are very difficult now because the contract period is more than two years away.

However, the active courtship of Premier League teams may move his mind.

`Although Tony seems to be settled in Saudi Arabia, this will not stop the Premier League teams from attacking,' the media said."Everton and West Ham continue to seek Tony in January," he said. Both teams lack scoring ability in striker resources, so it is urgent to recruit goaltenders.

In addition, England have confirmed their advance to the 2026 North American World Cup finals, but there is a lack of new attacking options to threaten Harry Kane. Tony may consider returning to the Premier League again to catch the eye of England manager Thomas Tuchel.
