Tottenham Hotspur really need to sign a new striker this summer, but one of their top targets is believed to be interested in joining Manchester United rather than moving to North London.
Ivan Toney has long been mooted as one of the top names on Tottenham‘s wishlist for the forward area, but Manchester United have also been in the mix when it comes to the Brentford man.
Now, the latest from SportBILD suggests the player himself is keen on the switch to Manchester United, with his agent even informing Erik ten Hag’s side of his client’s wishes.
Toney has publicly played down transfer speculation, insisting his focus is on Euro 2024 and his duties with England.
The Brentford striker said: “What will be will be and my main focus is playing well and doing well for my country. I’ve been through it, transfer speculation, before.
“There’s been lots of talk of me going here, there and everywhere before in my career and I just don’t let outside noise get to me. I’m here with England now, and the main focus is doing well for England and whatever happens, happens. I can’t control it.”
According to GiveMeSport, Spurs will push ahead with a move for Toney once he returns from international duty.
They will have to act fast and decisively, though, as The Athletic have already suggested internal talks have taken place at Old Trafford regarding Toney.
Spurs Web Opinion
The idea of Spurs signing Ivan Toney has really grown on me over the last month, and I’ve been really impressed with what we’ve seen of him at Euro 2024.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world if we missed out on him as we do have other targets, but if we are serious about signing him we have to make it happen sooner rather than later.
