Spurs transfer news: Thomas Frank 'prepared' to offer €60m to sign former star man

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly contemplating whether to make an approach for Al Ahli forward Ivan Toney.

Thomas Frank can claim to have enjoyed a strong start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, recording six wins, four draws and two defeats from his opening 12 matches.

However, with Spurs having recently dropped down to sixth position in the Premier League table courtesy of collecting just five points from four matches, there is still work to do.

With Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani all part of this season's first-team squad, Spurs are certainly not short of options down the middle of their attack.

Nevertheless, as per Fichajes, Spurs are open-minded regarding a potential move for one of Frank's former star men.

How is Ivan Toney faring in Saudi Arabia?

Since signing for Al Ahli in August 2024, Toney's performances in the Saudi Pro League have gone somewhat under the radar.

The England international has contributed an incredible 39 goals and eight assists from just 56 appearances in all competitions.

Toney has already won an AFC Champions League Elite title and a Saudi Super Cup during his time with Al Ahli, yet he will always be linked with a transfer back to the Premier League.

In 85 appearances for Brentford in England's top flight, Toney contributed 36 goals and 11 assists, making him an attractive option for clubs in the country.

If Spurs decide to pursue Frank's former centre-forward, they are allegedly willing to pay €60m (£52.14m) for his signature.

While there are still over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, Al Ahli may be prepared to take the chance to make a substantial profit on his signature.

Which Spurs forwards could leave?

Despite the amount of forwards that Spurs have in their ranks, there is an argument that each of the quartet are not safe in Frank's squad.

Richarlison's contract expires in 2027, Tel was left out of the club's Champions League squad, Solanke is yet to impress due to injury and Kolo Muani is on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.

Therefore, the chance to sign Toney on a long-term deal may prove too tempting to turn down, particularly when funds can be generated through sales.
