Alan Hutton names the ‘bulletproof’ striker Tottenham should sign this summer

Tottenham Hotspur need to sign a striker this summer, and Ivan Toney is the one the club should target according to former Spurs defender, Alan Hutton.

Since Harry Kane left the club last summer, Tottenham have relied on the attacking talents of Heung-min Son and Richarlison. The pair didn’t do too bad either, contributing 28 league goals between them last season.

However, with Son looking slightly less effective through the middle and Richarlison struggling with injuries, it’s clear Ange Postecoglou needs a genuine number 9 who can deliver consistently if his side are to go to the next level.

According to GiveMeSport, Ivan Toney is very much on Tottenham’s radar in that department, with a move being plotted for later this summer.

Spurs need to sign Ivan Toney, says Hutton

And if Alan Hutton had his way, Toney would definitely be the player to sign for Spurs this year, as he believes the Brentford man can offer ‘something different’ to their other targets.

He told Best Online Poker Sites: “I think if Spurs want to properly kick on next season and challenge for the top four, they need to get a striker. Ivan Toney would be my top choice.

“I know people have mentioned the likes of Dominic Solanke but I think Toney gives you that something different – it feels like he plays as if he’s bulletproof. Having lost Harry Kane, if they went and got Toney this summer, he’d be the one to take them to the next level.”

Hutton suggested other areas to work on, too, adding: “I think with regards to the rest of the positions, Ange Postecoglou should just be looking at strengthening the squad, a backup left back for example – although Destiny Udogie has been brilliant. There are just spots within the squad that need beefing out a little bit.”

Ivan Toney would be a real safe bet (pardon the pun) for Spurs, as we know he can score goals in the Premier League consistently, and he would feed on the chances we create by being in the right areas at all times.
