Ivan Toney is unlikely to leave Al Ahli in January to return to the Premier League due to tax reasons, talkSPORT understands.

The former Brentford striker has been linked with a move back to the English top flight in a bid to make it into England's World Cup squad.

Toney made the move to the Saudi Pro League from Brentford for a £40million fee in 2024, and has been prolific in the time since.
