Tottenham are 'looking' at a move for Ivan Toney | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney, but could face competition from a host of Premier League clubs if they up the ante in their pursuit. Journalist Dean Jones has now provided an update to GIVEMESPORT on the situation.

After selling their star striker Harry Kane just days before the start of the season, Tottenham might consider strengthening their options in the attack over the next couple of transfer windows. Although Ange Postecoglou secured the signature of Timo Werner earlier this month, the RB Leipzig man is only on loan and might not be the out-and-out striker Spurs need in the long term.

The addition of Werner might have signalled the end of Spurs' business when it comes to reinforcing their attack for this window at least, but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see them revisit the situation in the summer.

Toney attracting plenty of interest

According to The Independent, Brentford have set an asking price of £100m for Toney, who is now available for selection once again after his ban for breaching betting regulations. The report names Arsenal and Chelsea as two of the sides who are looking to prise him away from the Bees.

Journalist Ryan Taylor recently told The Spurs Chat Podcast that Chelsea and Arsenal were keen, but Tottenham shouldn't be ruled out of the race. However, he would prefer a move to the Gunners than the other half of north London. Journalist Jones previously told GIVEMESPORT that Postecoglou explored the possibility of bringing Toney to Hotspur Way during the summer transfer window, but a deal failed to come to fruition.

Speaking on the prospect of Toney departing in the winter window, Thomas Frank has reiterated his desire to keep hold of the England international, confirming that he doesn't expect him to leave...

"We've done everything we can to help him through this. We'd like to keep him, but we know how football is. It's turning out to be what I would like to say is the right outcome. I'd like to keep him for as long as possible, but that's not up to me."

Considering Brentford stuck by Toney throughout his suspension, you'd imagine the former Peterborough United striker might want to show a little loyalty to the club until at least the summer.

Dean Jones - Tottenham working in the background

Jones has suggested that there has been a lot of talk about Toney, who has been described as 'remarkable' by Brentford boss Frank, signing a new contract, but nothing is in place as it stands. The journalist adds that Tottenham are one of the teams keeping an eye on his situation in the background and could pounce if anything changes. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones said...

Heung-min Son contract update

As per Football Insider, Tottenham are willing to offer Heung-min Son a new contract and are preparing to present a deal on the table for the South Korean international. The former Bayer Leverkusen man's £190k-a-week contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation. The transfer guru confirmed that Son was happy at Tottenham and neither party are in a rush to extend his deal. Romano confirms that he's not aware of anything concrete at this stage.
