In the midst of speculation that Tottenham intends to submit a bid, a Premier League striker has now said that he is prepared to act this summer.

Due to uncertainties surrounding Richardson’s future, Spurs are searching for a replacement striker. Ange Postecoglou will undoubtedly be happy to learn that one of his potential targets has now acknowledged he is willing to quit his current team.

Which striker might Tottenham sign shortly to join N17, then? Let’s examine this.

Ivan Toney says he is set to leave Brentford

According to a recent Football Transfers article, Spurs are prepared to offer £40 million to capture Ivan Toney this summer in an effort to ultimately replace Harry Kane in a suitable manner.

The England international has now stated that, should the chance arise, he would be “ready” to leave Brentford.

“It’s nice to be linked with other clubs, but I have had disappointment in the past and nothing is done until it’s done,” the Brentford No. 17 said to talkSPORT. I still play for Brentford, so my priorities for the upcoming season must be fulfilling my commitment to the team.

I would be prepared for a major change if it happened, but as I already mentioned, I must maintain my focus and resist letting outside distractions or noise overwhelm me.

Despite returning to the Premier League in January following a suspension for breaking gambling regulations, Toney only managed four goals in his 17 league games the previous season.

Nonetheless, the 28-year-old is unquestionably a top striker since only Kane and Erling Haaland scored more than his 20 Premier League goals in 33 appearances during the 2022–2023 season.

Tottenham Deserved Positioned

The likelihood of Brentford accepting Spurs’ projected £40 million bid appears to be strong.

With just 12 months left on his contract, Toney is set to go, as Thomas Frank has previously acknowledged.

Brentford will therefore have to decide whether to cash in this summer or take a chance on losing the Northampton man for free in 2025.
