Tottenham and West Ham United are not willing to meet the demands of Brentford for the services of Ivan Toney. According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both keen on signing Ivan Toney ahead of next season. But, they are not willing to meet Brentford's demands who want between PS50-60 million for the English international.
Tottenham and West Ham are both looking for a new number nine. The North London club did a decent job without signing a Harry Kane replacement last summer. But, they are now looking to bring in a top-level striker who can help them take the next step under Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham, West Ham keen on Toney The Australian manager wants to add an out-and-out striker to his ranks. Someone who can hold up the play, bring others into the thick of things and score goals consistently. While they have been linked with quite a few forwards, Ivan Toney's name is at the top of their wishlist. They see him as a perfect fit for their system.
As far as the Hammers are concerned, Julen Lopetegui wants to reinforce his attack. He wants a new leader for his attack with Michail Antonio's future at the club uncertain and Danny Ings on the wrong side of 30. The Spanish manager wants to add multiple forwards to his team and Toney is one of the names on their radar.
Manchester United are also in the mix Manchester United also hold a strong interest in the 28-year-old as they look for someone who can support young Rasmus Hojlund up top. Signing an experienced campaign like the English international will surely be a huge boost for the Red Devils.
While all three English clubs are keen on having him in their squad, they are not ready to offer Brentford the fee they want. The Bees want between PS50-60 million for Toney. But, with only 12 months left on his deal, none of the interested clubs are ready to accept their demands.
The Bees do have a tough situation at their hand as they are not in the best of positions to negotiate because of his contract situation and the forward's poor form in the recent past. If they do not lower their asking price, they could risk losing their ace for free in 12 months.
