AliousReports suggest Brentford is willing to part ways with striker Ivan Toney for just £40 million this summer, a price that has piqued the interest of Tottenham Hotspur as they aim to bolster their attacking options.
Initially, there was speculation that Brentford could demand a hefty £60 million fee for Toney. However, the latest buzz indicates the club has softened its stance and is now looking for a more modest £30-40 million price range.
Toney’s valuation has taken a hit due to a recent rough patch, which saw him serve a ban for part of the season and score just four goals in his last 17 games. This dip in form has seemingly cooled the interest from Arsenal, who were previously keen admirers, leaving Tottenham and Manchester United as the frontrunners.
According to sources at Football Insider, Tottenham is preparing to swoop in and secure Toney’s services for the £40 million asking price, a move that Brentford appears unlikely to reject.
Despite his recent struggles, Toney is still regarded as a “ready-made goalscorer” in the Premier League. With his contract running until 2025, the stars seem aligned for a potential transfer, as Brentford looks to cash in on their prized asset.
Some pundits believe Toney represents a wise investment for Spurs, offering a proven Premier League goalscorer at a reasonable price for a homegrown talent who could provide an immediate boost to the squad’s attacking prowess.
