Ivan Toney, currently with AL Ahli Saudi, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Liverpool. The forward could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Liverpool remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Leeds, Tottenham and Chelsea continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. At 1.67 goals scored per game this season, Liverpool already pose a big threat. Ivan Toney would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Reports suggest Liverpool are monitoring James Mcconnell, Jurrien Timber and Ayase Ueda whereas AL Ahli Saudi have not been associated with other players at this stage.
