Tottenham urged to sign Ivan Toney to challenge for PL title

Frank McAvennie has told West Ham to “go and get” Ivan Toney after Brentford decided to slash the striker’s price this summer.

Moreover, according to a report from talkSPORT (via the Spurs Web), the Englishman is actively hoping that the North Londoners will come in with an offer for him this summer.
