Other Premier League teams, including West Ham United and Everton, have also shown interest in Toney, but Tottenham are considered the leading contenders for his signature. Toney has a strong relationship with Frank from his time at Brentford, where he scored 72 goals in 141 appearances.

However, Toney earns a significant amount of money in Saudi Arabia, £400,000 a week tax-free, after transferring to Al Ahli for £40 million. He may need to take a significant pay cut to join Tottenham, who would have to negotiate a lower salary to make the transfer possible.

Toney's last full season in the Premier League was in 2022-23, where he scored 20 goals and provided four assists in 33 league appearances. If Tottenham were to sign him, manager Thomas Frank would hope to see him score goals again.
