Newcastle United's interest in signing Ivan Toney has been reignited due to Matthias Jaissle's reported desire to bring the striker to the club, according to Saudi journalist Khalid Al-Shenaif. Jaissle previously managed Toney at Al-Ahli. Al-Shenaif stated that Jaissle "definitely wants to sign him" and that it "will undoubtedly be a major crisis" if the transfer happens. Newcastle's scoring struggles have contributed to the speculation.

Toney has a history with Newcastle, having joined as a teenager in 2015 but making only four senior appearances before leaving in 2018. He has since become a prolific scorer for Al-Ahli, with 86 goals and 19 assists in 107 appearances, including 72 goals under Jaissle's management. Toney's importance to Al-Ahli continues, with 13 goals and two assists in their first 27 league goals this season.

There are currently no reported negotiations between Newcastle and Al-Ahli over a transfer. Both January and next summer have been mentioned as possible transfer windows if the interest develops further. The speculation is ongoing, with the possibility of a "major crisis" if the transfer occurs, as per Al-Shenaif's statement.
