New English Destination Emerges for Al Ahli’s Star Forward: The Ivan Toney Transfer Saga
12 November 2025
Rising Speculation Around Ivan Toney
Ivan Toney, the English international striker at Al Ahli Saudi, remains at the center of intense speculation as his future remains undecided, with growing English interest in signing him during the January transfer window.
Linked with a return to the Premier League in January, Toney is eager to represent England at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, fueling the transfer chatter.
While Tottenham have been mentioned as a potential destination, a fresh report has pointed to another likely suitor.
Everton as a Clear Favourite, Moyes Sees a Golden Opportunity
According to the Daily Mail, Everton could be the ideal landing spot for Toney. Manager David Moyes is said to be hungry for a strong forward who can lead the line and convert chances that teammates create.
The piece argues that Toney's prolific form and his direct style would suit Moyes’ approach, and that he could translate the chances created by fellow attackers into real goals.
Speculation about a move continues, with contrasts in how Toney is valued by different clubs and how much game time he might receive in various squads.
Why Toney Could Fit with Al Ahli and Other News
Toney has been described as a powerful, technically complete forward who combines physical presence with smart movement in the box. He can play as a traditional center-forward or as a mobile strike option who links play and finishes with both feet and the head.
Tactically, he offers a clear attacking variety for Al Ahli, pressing aggressively when possession is lost and helping to recycle play in the final third. Since joining the club, he has added notable attacking threat and improved the team’s goal tally.
There is even talk of a potential exhibition match between Al Ahli Saudi and Al Ahly of Egypt during the current international pause, a fixture that would be a treat for fans of both teams.
In any case, Al Ahli claimed the Saudi Super Cup and earned praise for their coach and squad, reinforcing the club's growing status in Asian football.
Sniper punchline 1: If transfer gossip paid wages, this window would have already funded a small nation. Sniper punchline 2: And if rumors were goals, Toney would be leading the scoring chart by now.
