Tottenham agree add-ons for £50m+ Ivan Toney transfer as personal terms struck

Alan Hutton has stated that Tottenham will try to work out a number of add-ons in order to land Brentford striker Ivan Toney in a deal that may cost as much as £50-55 million.

The England striker, whose contract with the Bees expires in one year, has already verbally agreed

to personal terms with Spurs, according to a report from Football Transfers on June 18.

The article also stated that further work needs to be done on value, with Brentford requesting £65 million and Spurs’ £40 million offer being rejected. It is believed that a fee in the middle will close

the transaction.

Speaking to Tottenham News, former Spurs defender Hutton believes that amount is reasonable

for a player who can enhance Ange Postecoglou’s starting lineup.

“I think that’s a good number. I know how Tottenham plays. They go in low, Brentford goes high,

and every move in football ends somewhere in the middle,” he remarked.

“If they can reach the £50-55 million threshold, that would be great. He is still 28 years old, and

while he did have a sluggish finish to the season after serving his suspension (I believe he only

scored three or four goals in 17 games), we know that he is capable of more because of his past experiences, and he will take that into consideration.

Will Tottenham sign Brentford ace Ivan Toney?

Since Harry Kane was traded to Bayern Munich in the summer of last year, it’s safe to say that Tottenham still lacks a typical centre forward.

Throughout the campaign, Richarlison and Captain Son Heung-min took turns going up top, but

neither is in the mould of Kane.

Toney is undoubtedly a “proper” striker; the only issue is that there will be fierce competition for his services.
