The incredible marksman could help take Postecoglou’s side to the next level.
The Australian dealt relatively well with a plethora of injuries and Harry Kane’s absence to lead the Lillywhites to Europa League qualification, so while he did let the Champions League slip, it wasn’t the worst of debut seasons.
However, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea likely to be better next year, Daniel Levy and Co have to back their manager, and luckily for them, a supremely gifted attacker earning ten times less than Son Heung-min reportedly wants to join the club this summer.
Premier League star wants to sign for Spurs
According to a recent report from Tottenham Hotspur news, the Lilywhites are currently in the market for a new number nine and, luckily for them, Brentford’s star striker, Ivan Toney, “would jump at the chance” to join the North Londoners.
This report follows months of reports linking Postecoglou’s side to a number of forwards, including the Englishman.
The report makes no mention of a potential price Levy and Co will have to pay, but previous stories have claimed that his original £100m price tag might’ve fallen as low as £30m-£40m.
If true, this would represent excellent value for a player who was the third top scorer in the Premier League last season and a deal that Spurs simply can’t afford to pass up on.
How Ivan Toney compares to Tottenham’s attackers
So, when looking at how the Englishman would potentially improve the North Londoners attack next season, you can’t really use his statistics from this season.
Indeed, due to his eight-month betting-related football ban, he only returned halfway through the campaign, and while he was able to rack up four goals and two assists in 17 appearances, he was evidently rusty.
