Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham are keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old Premier League striker as they weigh up a potential move at the end of the season.
Toney has a contract at the Premier League club until 2026 and Brentford are prepared to offer him new a deal worth around £50,000 which would make him the highest earner at the club.
Tottenham are certainly capable of offering him a more lucrative contract and it remains to be seen whether the Londoners decide to follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal for the player.
The 26-year-old England striker has been a major hit in the Premier League and he has been in exceptional form this season. Toney has 13 goals in the league so far and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham.
The London club are currently reliant on Harry Kane for goals and they could certainly use someone like Toney who will help share the goal-scoring burden alongside the 29-year-old.
Son Heung-Min is going through a rough patch right now and the South Korean has failed to find the back of the net consistently. Meanwhile, summer signing Richarlison has had his fair share of injury problems since joining the club.
Spurs brought in Arnaut Danjuma on loan from Villarreal to improve their attack in January and they should look to invest in another reliable goalscorer at the end of the season.
Toney is well-settled in the Premier League and he could prove to be a smart addition to the London club.
The Brentford star will feel that this is the right time for him to make a step up in his career and join a club challenging for major trophies.
The opportunity to play for Tottenham will be an attractive proposition for the player and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
