He wants to sign for Spurs: Ange could transform his attack by landing £40M sensation

The amazing marksman might assist Postecoglou in taking his squad to the next level.

The Premier League season ended little over a week ago, and while Ange Postecoglou had many highs and lows, it would be reasonable to characterise his first term in command of Tottenham Hotspur as a success.

While Harry Kane’s absence guided the Lillywhites to Europa League qualifying, the Australian managed very well with a variety of ailments. Therefore, even if he did let the Champions League go, it wasn’t the worst of first seasons.

But with Manchester United and Chelsea set to be better next year, Daniel Levy and Co have to support their manager; fortunately, for them, a superbly skilled forward earning ten times less than Son Heung-min apparently wants to join the club this summer.

Star in the Premier League wants to join for Spurs

A recent Tottenham Hotspur news article claims that the Lilywhites are now on the market for a new number nine and, fortunately for them, Ivan Toney, Brentford’s top scorer, “would jump at the chance” to join the North Londoners.

This paper tracks months of evidence tying Postecoglou’s side to many forwards, including the Englishman.

Although the story makes no reference to a possible amount Levy and Co may have to pay, past accounts have indicated that his initial £100m price tag could have dropped to £30m-£40m.

If accurate, this would be great value for a man who was the third highest scorer in the Premier League last season and a bargain Spurs really cannot afford to pass up.

Ivan Toney’s approach contrasts with Tottenham’s strikers

Therefore, it is difficult to properly evaluate the Englishman’s numbers from this season when considering how he may help the North Londoners attack next season.

He barely returned half through the season owing to his eight-month betting-related football exile, and while he was able to rack up four goals and two assists in 17 games, he was clearly rusty.

As he was able to play out a complete season with the Bees, in which he scored a somewhat remarkable 21 goals in 35 games and supplied five assists for good measure, it seems reasonable to utilise figures from 2022/23.

Dejan Kulusevski’s 10 in 37, Richarlison’s seven in 35, and even Son’s twenty in 47 games all pale in comparison to this return of 26 goal involvements in 35 games.

Though he has had an underwhelming comeback to football this season, the Brentford star has still had a better previous two years combined than Richarlison and Kulusevski, who have respectively racked up 23 goal involvements in 66 games and 21 goal involvement in 76 games. Only the South Korean has bettered his two-year output owing to a great effort this year.

So, although it’s evident that the former Peterborough “monster”, as characterised by manager Thomas Frank, would offer greater offensive danger to N17, he would also do so for a very low price.

In West London, he only gets £20k-per-week, which is nearly 10 times less than Son’s pay packet of £190k-per-week.

This implies that although he’ll undoubtedly ask for and be offered a bigger pay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he won’t be in a position to demand as much as the club’s other stars, given his poor season and stated desire to join the club.

Ultimately, with his cost coming down so substantially, his wages being very affordable, and a two-year return greater than the bulk of Spurs’ current crop of attackers, signing Toney this summer should be a priority.
