Tottenham Hotspur have considered signing Brentford’s Ivan Toney in the January transfer window.
Spurs have recovered impressively after going five Premier League games without a win. They have already won three games in a row and appear to be in good form. Reinforcements in January might propel them to new heights, and Toney has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham have talked about bringing in Ivan Toney.
Tottenham are yet to find a replacement for Harry Kane, who was sold to Bayern Munich in the summer.
Ange Postecoglou chose to transfer Heung-min Son to a central position in the early months of the season rather than seek a like-for-like replacement.
Richarlison has now taken over that role, and he has been outstanding in recent weeks. Many believe Tottenham need to acquire a new striker next month while Son is overseas with South Korea.
The Guardian reported today that Spurs, along with Chelsea and Arsenal, have discussed a possible January trade for Toney.
The Englishman is anticipated to be a wanted man when he is eligible to play again after serving his punishment next month. He is a wonderful talent who would fit in perfectly with Tottenham.
According to the article, Brentford’s £100 million asking price for their star player is expected to deter many contenders until the summer, when the valuation is expected to fall dramatically.
Ivan Toney has the potential to become Tottenham’s new Harry Kane.
We’re not saying Ivan Toney is on the same level as Harry Kane, but the Tottenham-linked Brentford attacker does have some similarities.
Like Kane, the 27-year-old is a clinical finisher in front of goal, but he can also drop deep and link things up. He’s also good in the air, and Arsenal player Declan Rice has already compared him to the Bayern Munich man.
The midfielder said on talkSPORT: “He (Toney) is kind of like Harry Kane in a way where he’s not only an out-and-out striker, he’s a playmaker as well – his left and right-footed passing, the way he picks out his teammates is a special technique to have.”
Toney would be an excellent Kane replacement at Tottenham, but whether they can afford him next month is unknown.
