Major Ivan Toney update as Tottenham seek way around tax hurdles.
Major Ivan Toney Update: Tottenham Explore Loan Move Amid Tax Concerns
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Ivan Toney as they look to resolve their attacking issues, with many pundits tipping the striker as the solution up front. Toney has been heavily linked with a switch to N17, and last month, manager Thomas Frank expressed his willingness to work with the England international at Spurs. In recent weeks, transfer speculation around the former Brentford forward has intensified.
Sources suggest Toney may be tempted to join Tottenham to enhance his World Cup chances ahead of next summer. However, competition for his signature is set to be fierce. Sky Sports reports that several Premier League clubs are monitoring the 29-year-old’s situation at Al-Ahli, with Everton among those closely following developments ahead of the January transfer window.
A key hurdle for English clubs is Toney’s substantial wages in Saudi Arabia, reportedly exceeding £400,000 per week. Reports indicate that the striker could face a significant tax bill if his contract is terminated early.
To navigate this, Tottenham are reportedly exploring a loan deal for Toney in January, which is seen as the most viable way for the forward to return to the Premier League without triggering major tax complications.
