Tottenham are prioritising the signing of Brentford’s star striker Ivan Toney this summer.
According to GiveMeSport, Spurs and West Ham United are leading the race to sign the England international.
The Lilywhites currently have the upper hand in this pursuit, although West Ham remains a strong competitor.
Brentford has lowered Toney’s price tag to less than £50 million due to concerns about the striker potentially leaving for free when his contract expires next summer.
The report suggest that Toney is more likely to join Tottenham, positioning them as the frontrunners in this transfer saga.
The report also states the Spurs will be making a lowball offer for the striker soon.
Since joining Brentford in 2020, Toney has had a remarkable career. He set a Championship record by scoring 31 league goals in the 2020-21 season, playing a crucial role in the Bees’ promotion to the Premier League.
The 28-year-old striker continues to showcase his quality in the top flight, scoring 20 goals in 33 appearances in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, making him the third-highest scorer in the division.
Despite facing an eight-month ban for breaches of betting rules last year, Toney has demonstrated resilience. His return to action in January saw him score four goals and provide two assists last season. (Transfermarkt)
As Tottenham continues its pursuit of Ivan Toney, the potential signing could significantly strengthen their attacking lineup.
