Tottenham have received a significant assist from Premier League opponents Brentford, who have cut their asking price for star striker Ivan Toney by 50%.
The England international is anticipated to leave the Gtech Community Stadium during the current transfer window, as he has only one year left on his contract and will not sign a new agreement with the London club.
This situation sparked a lot of interest from Premier League clubs, with Arsenal and Chelsea considering a transfer for Toney in January. Brentford, on the other hand, demanded a £100 million fee for the 28-year-old, scaring off the London club.
According to the Daily Mail, the asking price for Toney has been reduced by half, with Brentford willing to accept less than £50 million.
Tottenham and West Ham are thought to be the only two clubs still in the running for the Englishman, and if this is true, it would be a great boost for both London clubs, as they might obtain one of the Premier League’s best marksmen for a reasonable fee ahead of the new season.
Ivan Toney would be an excellent replacement for Harry Kane at Tottenham.
Tottenham never replaced their all-time leading goalscorer, Harry Kane, in Ange Postecoglou’s squad after he left for Bayern Munich last summer.
Toney is an excellent choice because he shares many of his England teammate’s attributes. The 28-year-old is a lethal goal scorer who is very clever in how he draws others into play with his ability to link things up.
The striker has shown to be one of the top attackers in the Premier League in recent years, and signing him for less than £50 million might be one of Spurs’ most important purchases this summer if they decide to make a play for the Brentford star.
