Are Tottenham also vying for Ivan Toney and looking to get him to the club amid transfer rumours?
Ivan Toney‘s time with Brentford is slowly coming to a close. Amidst this news, there is a tussle between Arsenal and Chelsea for the player. With two major clubs being in talks for the transfer, Tottenham has emerged as a dark horse in the race for Toney’s transfer.
Last year, too, there was much interest shown by Tottenham in Toney, but for his ban. Having him would ensure goals for Spurs which is something that the club needs in the Premier League. It is thus, not a surprise that the club is looking for a move for the Brentford star. This is according to the Mirror.
Further, Ange Postecoglou is looking to add extra firepower to the club ahead of the 2024/2025 season. Bringing Ivan Toney in would help cement that, which is why the manager is interested. After Harry Kane was let go just before the start of the season, having Toney and Werner in the team permanently would mitigate damage.
It has also recently been revealed that Toney himself was desperate to join Tottenham. There is definitely unfinished business here, his finishing which might be good for the club and Toney’s individual career.
Why it makes sense for Spurs to have Toney:
The chairman Daniel Levy has long been criticized for not showing enough ambition in the transfer market, but in this new era of stringent PSR, Tottenham have more cash to play with than most other clubs building themselves a stadium which spews out cash.
With most players also rallying for entry into Premier Leagues, having a player like Toney would ensure wins for Tottenham. It will allow the team to expand into areas where their rivals are restricted. Ange Postecoglou will also secure a massive professional success if Toney plays for Tottenham.
