West Ham have had a poor start to the season, but there is still time for them to turn things around. The January transfer window will help them in this regard, and plans are being made for signings to be added to Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad.
One area that could be addressed in attack, with Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson having struggled in the goalscoring department. Nuno could push to bring in another striker when the transfer window reopens, and if that’s the case, there could be one candidate who stands out above the rest: Ivan Toney, who they have expressed interest in over the past few weeks.
West Ham considering signing Ivan Toney
According to Alan Nixon (via Hammers News), West Ham are already working on a deal to bring Toney back to the Premier League. The former Newcastle and Brentford striker is reportedly open to being loaned out for the second half of the 2025-26 season as it would boost his chances of returning to the England squad for next summer’s World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Toney has been in fine form for Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli this season, scoring nine goals in 11 matches in all competitions. In total, he has scored 39 times since arriving in the summer of 2024, but soon it could be time for him to make a return to the Premier League.
There is no doubt that Toney would be a fantastic signing for West Ham, given his proven track record in the Premier League. His form in Saudi Arabia shows that he is still performing at a high level, so he would be more than capable of improving Fullkrug and Wilson in front of goal.
