Tottenham still haven’t really replaced Harry Kane.
Yes, they’ve made signings that have transformed their squad, and they look better off for it, but, in the same breath, they’re yet to bring in a number nine who is a guaranteed source of goals.
Of course, finding these types of players is easier said than done, but there is one player expected to hit the market next year that fits this profile: Ivan Toney.
Tottenham have been heavily linked with Toney recently, but according to Fabrizio Romano, speaking on the Here We Go podcast, Spurs are yet to make a formal approach to the player or the club.
No Toney approach was made
Romano shares what he knows about the “extraordinary” striker.
“We have to wait, let’s see what happens.” We have rumors about Tottenham right now. Currently, there is no official approach yet. We have Chelsea, they are interested in Ivan Toney. They asked in June, July 2024, but now he has changed agents so they will have to start the conversation again, but the interest is still there,” Romano said.
Ideal
Spurs may not have gone in for Toney just yet, but we can’t help but feel that this would be the ideal signing for Tottenham in many ways.
The Brentford striker, quite simply, has it all. He’s brilliant in terms of hold-up play and creating chances for his other attacking players, while he’s also dynamite in front of goal.
With the right team around him, Toney could consistently bang in 20 goals a season for a team like Tottenham, and that sort of strike rate is what is going to take Spurs to the next level.
Tottenham would be foolish to not get involved in this transfer race.
