John Wenham is delighted that Tottenham are not pursuing a deal for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose doesn't think the 28-year-old is good enough.

As reported by Football London (24 June), Spurs are unlikely to complete a move for Toney as they eye up younger options in the number nine position.

And Wenham - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - is delighted by this update.

"I have had reservations about Tottenham pursuing a deal for Toney," Wenham said.

"He is not a player that I am looking for the club to sign. Brentford were waiting patiently for him to come back, and he scored just four league goals between January and May.

"It's just not enough of an output. I don't think he's better than Richarlison and I therefore don't think he is an improvement on what we have already got.

"As a result, I was delighted to see an end put to those links."
