Tottenham chasing Brentford striker Ivan Toney

Tottenham Hotspur are emerging as the front-runners to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney, according to the Sun.

The Bees have been forced to lower their asking price for their star forward, and Spurs are now leading the race to sign him.

Brentford wanted to spark a bidding war for Toney, who returned from a suspension for betting breaches in January.

They slapped an £80 million price tag on the England international, but a lack of interest has forced them to adjust their expectations.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have all signalled they won’t be making bids, leaving Tottenham and West Ham United as the most likely suitors.

Brentford have been planning for Toney’s departure for some time, signing Brazilian forward Igor Thiago as his replacement for a club-record £31 million in February.

Accommodating both strikers would be challenging for manager Thomas Frank, forcing Brentford to reconsider their demands.

Tottenham would be the perfect landing spot for Toney. Spurs desperately need a clinical striker to allow Heung-min Son to move back to his favoured position on the flanks.

The 28-year-old is also keen on a move and has publicly expressed his desire to join a top club that wins trophies.

However, Tottenham’s pursuit of Toney hinges on offloading Brazilian winger Richarlison, who has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
