Tottenham Hotspur could look to sign a quality attacker at the end of the season and they have been urged to make a move for Ivan Toney.
The 28-year-old is expected to move on from Brentford at the end of the season and he wants to join a big club in the summer. The opportunity to play for Tottenham will be an exciting one for him. They are currently pushing for Champions League qualification, and they will be an attractive destination for the striker.
Toney has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he will want to join a club capable of winning trophies. Tottenham could provide him with the opportunity to showcase his qualities in European football as well.
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has urged them to sign the 28-year-old in the summer as he would be a fantastic fit for the club. He added that Spurs must avoid signing versatile attackers like Richarlison and they must go for a reliable number nine.
He said on Football Insider: “If they are going to go and get a number nine, don’t mess about. Don’t go and get a number nine that can play wide like they did with Richarlison. Don’t get a utility player who can play in different positions.
“If you want a number nine to replace Kane, go and spend big, go and get Toney. He just fits the bill.
“Go and sign a number nine, go and make a real statement. And with Toney, that would be the type of player who would be a fantastic fit for Spurs.”
Ivan Toney could be a player in demand
Toney has been linked with other clubs in recent months as well, and it will be interesting to see if any of them decide to come forward with an offer for him at the end of the season. Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done and signing a quality forward like him could transform them in the final third.
The North London outfit will be hoping to compete for trophies next season and they need to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window.
