Tottenham are interested in signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney and have now received a major boost in their pursuit of the England international.
Toney was away on international duty this summer with England and helped the Three Lions reach the Euro final.
The striker has attracted the interest of some of England's biggest clubs in the past, however, nothing has been done for him in terms of a big move away from Brentford.
Only two clubs are reportedly interested in Ivan Toney, so Brentford are ready to pay less than £50 million for the striker, according to The Sun.
With little interest from other big clubs, Brentford are willing to accept less than £50 million for Toney, leaving Spurs and West Ham United as the only teams vying for his signature.
The striker was targeted by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea but they have focused on other targets.
Man United have already signed a new striker in Joshua Zirkzee, and Leny Yoro as their defender.
Arsenal are chasing Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori at the moment while Chelsea have moved on from Toney and pointed to other attacking options.
In January, Brentford wanted £80 million, and some sources even said they were asking for £100 million.
However, their situation has changed a lot now due to the lack of interest in the services of the striker.
Tottenham need a striker like Ivan Toney to lead their attack
Given his goalscoring record and international experience, Tottenham should look to add Toney to their attacking ranks this summer.
Spurs still haven't replaced Harry Kane after he left to join Bayern Munich last summer.
Ange Postecoglou's side need a natural striker who can lead the attack and provide a physical presence up front.
At Brentford's current asking price, Toney could prove to be a good signing for Spurs.
