The London heavyweights have had a good progressive campaign under the direction of Ange Postecoglou and are currently 5th in the standings with 60 points, 6 behind. Aston Villa with 2 games in hand.
Postecoglou has made the most of his current squad so far and SPORTS GIFT claim Spurs could consider signing a senior striker when the transfer window reopens.
Toney has become the Spurs' main target. London rivals Chelsea They are the favorites to acquire his services, but the need to balance their accounts could give Tottenham an advantage.
Brentford are currently seeking £60m to part ways with the Englishman whose contract expires in June 2025. Spurs are likely to 'test the water' with a £45m offer this summer.
Proven striker
Toney had a brilliant last season with Brentford with 21 goals before his ban for a betting breach. Since he returned from an 8 month ban, he has only scored 4 goals, but is still a quality striker.
With a good preseason this summer, the 28-year-old could return to his best level. Chelsea are considered favorites to sign him, but the club is currently facing the need to recover transfer funds.
Chelsea needs to sell first to stay within the rules of Profitability and Sustainability. This could benefit the Spurs in their pursuit of Toney, considering they may lose another £250 million without exceeding any spending limit.
