Tottenham are in the market for a new striker and a number of big names have been linked with the North Londoners in recent weeks.
According to Football Transfers, Tottenham have just seen an offer of £40m ‘rejected’ by the Bees for the 28-year-old, who is currently away on international duty with England at the Euros.
Toney is undoubtedly one of the Premier League’s best strikers on his day and netted a superb 20 league goals in 2022/23.
The centre-forward was then banned from football for nine months for breaching betting rules and missed most of the 2023/24 campaign as a result.
Toney made his return at the start of this year. He struggled somewhat as he only scored four goals in his 17 Premier League appearances.
That seemingly hasn’t put Tottenham off however and the report claims they’ve decided on Toney as their top attacking target for the summer.
Ivan Toney ‘agrees’ Tottenham contract
It’s no secret that Toney is keen to join a big club this summer and he’s reportedly ‘agreed personal terms’ with Tottenham, per Football Transfers’ report.
The only thing left for Postecoglou’s side to negotiate is a transfer fee with Brentford. The Bees are ‘asking for a fee of £65m’ but it is understood that ‘an offer of £55m would secure the deal.’
They claim Spurs ‘have the financial capability to outbid any competitors for the Bees hitman. However, the available funds will need to be carefully managed, as the Lilywhites plan to bring in five new signings to boost their chances of securing Champions League football next season.’
One player who has been on Ange Postecoglou’s radar for some time is Brentford star Ivan Toney and reports suggest Spurs have just taken a big step towards bringing him in.
Ivan Toney has taken to social media to thank Brentford fans after missing half of the season through suspension. The 28-year-old was only able to make 17 appearances for the Bees in total following an eight-month betting ban that started prior to the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
Tottenham are readying a bid for Brentford striker ivan Toney , FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal.
Sources have indicated that Spurs are preparing a package of personal terms for the forward, who has made the cut for Gareth Southgate’s England squad for euro 2024
Ange Postecoglou’s outfit are now gearing up to make the Bees an offer of £40 million for Toney, who scored four goals in 17 Premier League games after returning from a suspension that prevented him from featuring in the first half of the season.
Having been away from the first team for half of that before returning to training and practice matches in the lead-up to his January return, Toney’s standing as one of the best strikers in England has taken a hit. Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke both took advantage of his absence to become the leading marksman alongside Erling Haaland.
Although Brentford were able to stay up despite missing their talisman – and other key players at points through injury and international competition – it was a disappointing year for Thomas Frank. The Bees finished 16th, below Everton, and failed to make the same impact that had been managed in their first two seasons in the top flight.
