Tottenham have great intentions for the summer transfer window, and one of Ange Postecoglou’s priorities is to buy a new striker who can immediately slot into his starting lineup.

Spurs had a successful debut season under the Australian coach, impressing their fans with some entertaining play, but ultimately missed out on Champions League qualification.

Postecoglou reportedly believes that signing a new centre-forward will help his squad compete for prizes next season. He also wants to bring in a new midfielder, winger, and centre defender.

Several attractive targets have been associated with North Londoners. For example, Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez is at the top of their shortlist, and a deal for him appears to be close.

However, Brentford’s Ivan Toney has been linked with Tottenham for long time, and Postecoglou may be persuaded to sign him.

That’s because the England international could be available for far less than thought this summer.

Toney scored four goals for Brentford after returning from suspension this season, and he hopes to score again for England at the 2017 Euros.

Brentford cut Ivan Toney’s price tag.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham might sign Toney for a’surprise fee’ of under £40 million this summer, with Brentford’reluctantly ready’ to let him go.

It was believed that the Bees were aiming for £100 million to let the 28-year-old leave in January, so this constitutes a significant shift in strategy.

Toney’s contract is slated to expire in little over a year, so Thomas Frank’s team has to part ways with him as soon as possible to assure a good return.

However, it appears that they will wait until after the Euros to sell Toney in case he has a breakout tournament and interest in his signing increases.

Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and West Ham have also been connected with the forward.

If the £40 million price tag claimed by Football Insider is right, clubs will undoubtedly start lining up to sign Toney.

The attacker has made it obvious that he wants to join a major European team.

“It’s obvious I want to play for a top club, everyone wants to play for a top club and fight for titles,” Toney stated in December.
