Tottenham manager Thomas Frank wants to recruit a striker in the transfer market this winter.

Team Talk in England on the 5th (Korea time) 'Tottenham took the lead in the competition to recruit the 'Verified Striker' in the January transfer market. Frank is said to have already made direct contact with the striker, according to the report.

The attacker was Ivan Toney. Tony is a player who has grown into a striker representing the Premier League (EPL) under Frank at Brentford. He is currently playing for Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli.

The media reported that `Tony seems to be aiming to return to the EPL in January this year. 'The sources explained that Tony wants to secure a steady amount of playing time and be named in England's squad for the 2026 World Cup.'

However, Team Talk's analysis is that the transaction is likely to be carried out in the form of a lease. 'At the moment, the possibility of a full transfer during the season is low. This is because few clubs will pay more than 30 million pounds (about 56.4 billion won) in January, and Tony himself will face a huge tax burden if the contract is terminated early.In the end, a short-term lease or full recruitment option after lease is considered a realistic solution. From Al Ahli's point of view, he said, 'It's an option to keep the investment and Tony to play in the big league stage again.'

Frank believes Tony will be the solution at a time when Tottenham are having trouble in attack. I've already contacted Tony as well. The media is 'Tottenham is currently ahead of the curve. Frank is the man who developed Tony into a star during his time at Brentford, and the relationship between the two is still known to be very good. Of course, Tony is also the player who knows Frank's tactics and demands the best.

Tony is an England international striker who has drawn full attention at Brentford after playing for Peterboro United. In the English Championship (Second Division), he led his team to promotion to the EPL by proving his excellent scoring sense and ability to link up. Even after promotion, he continued to produce stable goals and established himself as a top striker in the league. Postplay and accurate finishing based on strong physicality are evaluated as strengths.

However, he was suspended for a long time in 2023 for violating illegal gambling regulations, creating a major variable in his career. Even after returning, he showed a steady scoring ability and proved his talent again. Originally, he was connected to European big clubs, but surprisingly, he decided to go to Saudi Arabia. He still scored 20 goals in the EPL. Al Ahli is also active in 59 games with 41 goals and 8 assists.

If Tony comes to Tottenham, he is likely to replace Hishalisson. According to the media, `Tottenham evaluates Tony as an immediate power resource to replace Hisalisson's unstable performance, and there is an opinion that it can persuade Al-Ahli by including a full recruitment obligation clause in the summer. West Ham and Everton are also watching the situation, but Tottenham have the most advantage at the moment. Although an agreement has not yet been reached, transfer negotiations are gaining speed. Tony's side is strongly pushing for a return to the EPL, adding that Al-Ahli is also open to a lease format that can protect its 40 million pounds (about 75.2 billion won) investment.
