Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
The 27-year-old is currently suspended for breaching gambling regulations and he will return to action midway through January. A report from Football Insider claims that the 27-year-old striker is now prepared to leave Brentford and join a bigger club. The report further states that clubs like Tottenham and Chelsea could be a potential destination for the player.
Toney scored 21 goals across all competitions last season and he has firmly established himself as one of the most reliable strikers in the league. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done.
Spurs have decided not to buy a direct replacement for Harry Kane and players like Richarlison have failed to step up since the departure of the England international.
Signing a reliable goalscorer could prove to be a wise decision for Tottenham in January. They will be desperate to get back into the UEFA Champions League and compete for domestic trophies. Toney will certainly add more cutting edge in the final third and he could galvanise the Tottenham attack.
Spurs are already in fine form this season and bringing in the right reinforcements in January could take them to a whole new level.
A move to a top-six Premier League club would be a major step up in the striker’s career as well and he is likely to be tempted to join them.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs can agree on a reasonable fee with Brentford now.
