West Ham and Spurs both want Ivan Toney
GiveMeSport reported recently that Tottenham are expected to make a ‘lowball’ offer for Ivan Toney over the coming weeks as they are confident that his price tag will come down.
Tottenham reportedly want to add more new faces to their front line this summer, but have not yet made a serious approach to Brentford regarding their striker.
West Ham and Spurs are named as the two most likely destinations for the England centre-forward ahead of the 2024/25 season, with Brentford dropping his price to £50m.

Ivan Toney prefers a move to Tottenham Hotspur
TalkSPORT now claim that Toney is prepared to run his contract down and leave Brentford on a free if he does not get his ‘big summer move’ this year.
While Spurs and West Ham are again named as the two most interested Premier League teams, it is also said that clubs in Saudi Arabia are keeping an eye on Toney.
Fortunately for Tottenham, the report goes as far as to say that Toney is ‘hoping Spurs make a move’ for him before the transfer window slams shut, giving them a huge advantage in the race.
Spurs Web Opinion:
It seems wild that the race for Ivan Toney has thinned out this much over the last month. Tottenham and West Ham being the only interested Premier League teams seems strange.
If Toney really does want Spurs and his price has already dropped to £50m, I expect Spurs to wait it out a little longer and try to sign him for just £40m.
