Tottenham target Ivan Toney impresses for the Three Lions after winning & scoring England’s first of the night.
Tottenham Hotspur, for a while, have been linked with Brentford striker Ivan Toney for a possible move in the summer transfer window, per the BBC. Spurs are contending for his signatures against Premier League rivals Chelsea, West Ham, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
With Arsenal going from favorites to land the England international to cooling down interest in Toney’s services and Chelsea having to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, Spurs can soon become his preferred destination.
Following the departure of Harry Kane last summer, Tottenham are yet to reinforce their attacking options, despite securing a loan move for Timo Werner in January. Although there have been rumors about converting Timo’s loan from RB Leipzig into a permanent one, he may not be the ideal long-term striker that Spurs are looking for.
Getting a Harry Kane-lite in Ivan Toney?
Ivan Toney is a player that can be associated with Tottenham’s legendary striker in many ways. Both are potent with their backs at the goal, both have deadly through passes behind the lines, both are clinical in front of the goal, and both are known for their physical and technical attributes. In Toney, Spurs can get a player who resembles Harry Kane in many ways.
These are big words, and it is more than just difficult to replace Kane, though in Toney, Tottenham can get multiple qualities from Kane.
Toney impressing for England.
Ivan Toney was impressive for the Three Lions in their 2-2 draw against Belgium. He created a couple of chances, won most of his duels, and most importantly, scored a goal. The 27-year-old opened the scoring for Gareth Southgate’s from the penalty spot after the Brentford striker cleverly won himself a penalty.
Former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson praised Toney on BBC Radio 5 Live Extra and comprehended his performance with what he brings to the side. He said,
“Toney has won it and he’s scored it. That is exactly what Ivan Toney gives you. He used his pace and won the penalty.”
The 27-year-old is a clutch player, and he has proved his credentials over the years at Gtech Community Stadium, and that is what Paul wants to put through. Toney will give you many outstanding abilities on the pitch.
