MOST READ;  Tottenham has made Ivan Toney, the productive striker for Brentford, a top priority.

With the England international entering the final year of his contract, which expires next June, Brentford are likely to sell him to avoid losing him for free next year.

In the 2022-23 Premier League season, Toney scored 20 goals in 33 appearances, making him the third-highest scorer in the division, trailing only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.

He is one of the most sought-after strikers this summer, with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham, all showing interest in Toney.

It was recently reported that Spurs had a £40m bid rejected for the Brentford star, with the club looking for a fee close £65m. However, those reports have not been confirmed so far.

Meanwhile, the report from GiveMeSport claims that, the club are ready to make a serious push to sign him and that the longer no other club launches a bid for him, the better the chances for Spurs to sign him for a fee close to £40m.
