Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly 'preparing a bid' to sign Brentford star Ivan Toney this summer, according to football transfers.
It has been reported that the Englishman is keen to leave the Gtech Community Stadium in the next few years. transfer window to take the next step in your career. The Bees are said to be open to cashing in on him as the forward will enter the final year of his current contract.
At first it seemed that many big English clubs were interested in signing him. Arsenal, manchester united and Chelsea Among those. But it seems that they have not chosen to move forward with an agreement to sign him. So, Tottenham are apparently the only candidate interested in signing Toney.
According to the report of football transfers, Spurs plan to accelerate their efforts to sign him and are “preparing a bid” of around £40 million. The report further claims that Spurs are preparing a package to agree personal terms with the player to close this deal as quickly as possible.
Toney to Tottenham
It was previously reported that Brentford wanted a fee of around £100m to sell Toney, but it appears that, considering he is set to enter the final year of his current contract, the Bees could agree to a cut-price deal. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if Brentford accept the Lilywhites' £40m proposal should they present it.
After selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, Spurs have yet to opt to sign anyone to replace the Englishman. However, it seems they plan to do so this summer as they have been linked with a few forwards lately.
Toney has demonstrated his qualities in the first division in recent years and thanks to this he has secured a place in the England team. The 28-year-old is an old-fashioned number nine and is excellent in the air.
He is strong, fast, endures the game, has the ability to link the game and also has the instinct of a poacher within the area. Therefore, it would be a big coup for Tottenham if they bought him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club will finally be able to secure his signature in the next transfer window to strengthen their front line.
