Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are reportedly keen on 28-year-old Brentford striker Ivan Toney this summer.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Ivan Toney is expected to leave Brentford this summer, and Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United could submit lowball offers to sign the 28-year-old striker.
The England international is valued at £50 million, and it is highly unlikely that the two clubs would be willing to pay that kind of money for him. It will be interesting to see if Brentford are willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable amount of money this summer.
He has established himself as a quality striker in the Premier League, and Brentford want to demand a premium. Given his desire to leave the club this summer and his contract situation, £50 million will be difficult to obtain for the Englishman. Brentford will thus have to be more realistic with their demands.
Spurs and West Ham need Ivan Toney
Tottenham need to sign a quality striker this summer. They decided not to replace Harry Kane last summer and they have missed his clinical presence up front. Signing a reliable goalscorer should be one of their priorities heading into the new season. Meanwhile, West Ham United need to bring in a quality striker as well and have set their sights on Toney.
Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have been quite underwhelming, and they will need to be replaced adequately. West Ham have brought in a quality manager like Julen Lopetegui, and they will look to push for European qualification next season. They will look to do well in the domestic competitions as well.
Signing top quality players like Toney could transform them in the final third. The 28-year-old will want to join a club capable of pushing for trophies, and a move to Tottenham or West Ham could be an exciting opportunity for him. Tottenham are close to securing Champions League qualification last season and West Ham have recently won the UEFA Europa conference league under previous manager David Moyes.
Both clubs would represent an excellent opportunity for the striker, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Toney is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to join an ambitious club. Both clubs could help him push for trophies in the upcoming season. The striker is well settled in English football, and he could transform the London clubs in the attack.
