Al-Ahli director Rui Pedro Braz has now reacted to speculation linking Ivan Toney with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in January.<\/p>\n

The speculation linking Toney<\/a> with a move to N17 has been steadily gathering steam over the last month.<\/p>\n

Some sources have alleged that Tottenham are working on a potential loan formula to land Toney<\/a> in January, as that would allow the striker to get around the tax loopholes associated with an early exit from Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Spurs<\/a> are not alone in their admiration of the 29-year-old, with Everton and West Ham thought to be battling Tottenham for Toney\u2019s signature<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big question, though, is whether the Saudi Pro League club would entertain letting their star striker leave on loan.<\/p>\n

Al-Ahli\u2019s director, Rui Pedro Braz, has now provided a clear response, and the answer is a resounding \u2018no\u2019, with the Portuguese director ruling out the England<\/a> international\u2019s departure in January.<\/p>\n

Braz said (via Fabrizio Romano): \u201cIvan Toney is a top player, a top striker. The rumours around his possible exit in January are not based on reality. It\u2019s just not true. We\u2019re counting on him, it makes zero sense to address this subject in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do Spurs have any hope left of landing Toney?<\/p>\n

It is clear that Al-Ahli do not want to let the centre-forward leave, and it sounds like the Lilywhites\u2019 only hope is if the player pushes for a move.<\/p>\n

Some pundits have suggested that Toney will be keen on a switch to Tottenham<\/a> in January in order to give himself a chance of making the England squad for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

However, according to a recent update by journalist Graeme Bailey, Spurs do not get the feeling that Toney is particularly keen on a return to the Premier League<\/a> following their conversations with the striker\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
