Ivan Toney Linked with Premier League Return

Ivan Toney, the English international striker who joined Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia in 2024, is reportedly on the radar for a potential return to the Premier League. Since joining Al-Ahli, Toney has scored nine goals in 19 appearances, proving his value in the Saudi Pro League.

One of the clubs showing interest is Manchester United, who are struggling with their attacking options and currently sit 13th in the Premier League standings. The club has been actively seeking reinforcements to bolster their front line, with Toney emerging as a prominent candidate.

According to reports from English journalist Ben Jacobs, "Manchester United has monitored Toney in the past, and with the summer transfer window or even January 2026 approaching, his situation is one to watch closely." This suggests that United’s interest in Toney could become more concrete in the near future.

In addition to targeting Toney, Manchester United is also exploring options to strengthen their wing play, with players like Nuno Mendes and Michael Kerkes being evaluated. However, no formal offers have been made for Toney, and he remains a key player for Al-Ahli.

Toney’s potential return to the Premier League would mark a significant move, considering his proven track record in English football and his ability to adapt to various tactical systems. For now, he continues to contribute to Al-Ahli’s ambitions, while speculation about his future adds intrigue to the upcoming transfer windows.
