Simon Jordan believes that Ivan Toney is the type of signing that Tottenham needs to recruit in the January transfer window.
Tottenham were unable to sign a No.9 to replace Harry Kane this summer after the England captain moved to Bayern Munich.
However, that hasn’t cost Ange Postecoglou’s team dearly this season as they score goals for fun.
Son Heung-min has scored six goals in the four games he has played as a central striker while Ricarhlison, despite a difficult start to the season, has come off the bench to have a goal and an assist. created against Sheffield United two weeks ago and assisted again yesterday. against Liverpool.
Reports over the past two weeks suggest Spurs are one of the clubs considering a move for Toney in January after his ban expires (The Daily Express). Will Ivan Toney play well at Tottenham?
Lilywhties are said to be competing with London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea for the 27-year-old’s signature, and Jordon believes the Brentford star would be a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s side.
The former Crystal Palace owner told talkSPORT:
“If you change your agent to get results. In my opinion, based on my experience, the bottom line is that he changed agents in anticipation of a move. An expected move. He’s about to move.
“He is going, and the reason is that it’s very rare you see a top-class centre-forward become available in the January transfer window. So there’s a rarity to that little beast.
“I quite like him for Tottenham. He would be a signing for Tottenham but it begs a question what would happen for Richarlison in that respect.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I would be surprised if Tottenham get involved in a bidding war for Toney in January. A Centre-back and central midfielder are much bigger priorities for the club to address, particularly since Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg looks likely to depart.
