🚨 Ivan Toney plans Premier League return – West Ham already working on a transfer!
English striker Ivan Toney, currently playing for Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, is reportedly close to making a sensational return to the Premier League. The 29-year-old wants to move back to England in January in order to boost his chances of making Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad for England.
Since joining the Saudi Pro League, Toney has posted impressive numbers: 39 goals in 55 matches, making him one of the league’s most prolific forwards. Despite his success and a lucrative contract, his motivation for returning is primarily sporting, not financial.
According to multiple reports, West Ham United are already working intensively on a deal to sign him. The London club is searching for a proven goalscorer to strengthen their attack, and Toney is seen as the ideal target. Manager David Moyes is said to be an admirer of Toney’s qualities – strong in duels, technically skilled, dominant in the air, and deadly in front of goal.
Toney himself has expressed a desire to play again in one of the world’s top leagues to improve his chances of being selected for the national team. He believes that regular Premier League action will help him compete with the likes of Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins, and Evan Ferguson.
A January transfer, however, would be financially complicated. Al Ahli are expected to demand a substantial fee, as Toney remains a key player for them. Still, West Ham are reportedly prepared to make a significant offer, possibly financed through player sales.
For English football, Toney’s return would be a major boost. The 29-year-old has proven himself to be a complete striker – not only a scorer but also a smart link-up player who enhances his team’s attack.
If West Ham manage to complete the deal, it would likely be one of the biggest winter transfers of the season – and perhaps a crucial step in Toney’s late bid to secure a place in Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad. 🏴⚽
