Everton Eager to Acquire Al Ahlis Toney to Alleviate Moyes Frustrations
Everton’s Interest in Toney
Everton is reportedly pursuing Al Ahli’s striker Ivan Toney. The England international is considering a loan return to the Premier League in January to enhance his chances of being selected for next year’s World Cup.
Toney’s Performance in Saudi Arabia
The former Brentford player has excelled during his time in the Saudi Pro League, netting 49 goals in 59 matches. His contributions were pivotal in helping Al Ahli secure the Asian Champions League title last season.
Growing Interest from Europe
Toney has attracted interest from several European clubs, with Everton making a significant effort to acquire him.
Potential Transfer Dynamics
The Toffees are open to the possibility of signing Toney permanently, as manager David Moyes is still on the lookout for a natural scorer to enhance the team’s offensive capabilities. While the transfer fee would not pose a challenge for Everton, the high wages of £400,000 a week that Toney earns at Al Ahli could present a hurdle.
