“It is Crazy, it has gotten us terrified and wary of Spurs next season”- Phil Foden stunned by ‘unbelievable’ player who has reportedly agreed terms to join Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur have kicked off the transfer window on a high note. They’ve successfully brought back Timo Werner on another loan deal and secured the signing of Archie Gray. Young talent Lucas Bergvall has also officially joined the ranks.
Despite these moves, Tottenham is far from finished. They anticipate adding a few more players before the transfer window closes in August, with a new striker being a top priority. One player linked to Spurs has recently impressed everyone, including Manchester City star Phil Foden.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney has emerged as a significant target for Tottenham this summer. Toney, whose contract with Brentford is in its final year, is unlikely to extend his stay with the Bees. While any transfer action will be delayed until after England’s participation in Euro 2024, it appears increasingly likely that Toney will be on the move.
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham’s manager, is keen on securing a new striker this summer. Reports suggest that Toney has already agreed on personal terms with Spurs for a potential transfer. Toney’s qualities make him an excellent fit for Tottenham, not only for his scoring ability in open play but also for his prowess from the penalty spot.
In England’s quarter-final match against Switzerland at Euro 2024, Toney showcased his skill by converting his penalty during the shootout in a remarkable fashion. What caught everyone’s attention was Toney’s technique of not even glancing at the ball before striking it. Phil Foden, who had been substituted before the shootout, expressed his amazement at Toney’s spot-kick technique and heaped praise on him.
When asked about his favorite penalty, Foden told talkSPORT: “I think Ivan’s because it’s crazy, to be honest. He never looks at the ball and generates the power that he needs to score.”
Toney has been open to leaving Brentford for some time. Despite missing the first half of the season due to a ban, the England international was still on the radar of major clubs in January 2024. Brentford, however, was not willing to let him go for a small fee back then, and their demands remain steep.
Reports indicate that Brentford is asking for £60 million for Toney, while Tottenham is currently only willing to offer £45 million. It remains to be seen if the two clubs can reach a compromise on the fee, especially since Toney is said to have already agreed on personal terms with Spurs.
Tottenham fans are eagerly waiting to see if their club can secure the services of Toney, who would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to their squad. His ability to perform under pressure and his unique penalty-taking technique make him an exciting prospect for the North London club. As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether Tottenham can finalize this crucial signing and strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season.
