'No re-signing Brentford. It's definitely on the market

Striker Ivan Toney, who is playing in Euro 2024 as a member of the England national team, is expected to be in the spotlight as the best striker in the transfer market this summer. Its value has risen further as it has helped bring the England national team to the semi-finals at Euro 2024. In addition, the latest updates on his future course of action were reported. Tottenham Hotspur and other clubs that want to recruit Tony are paying keen attention.

British media TBR Football reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'A Sky Sports reporter updated the latest information on Ivan Toney's future, which Tottenham strongly wants to recruit' Tony, who is currently competing in Euro 2024, has boosted his stock price by playing a big role in the last match against Slovakia.

Even before this game, it is true that Tony has already received a lot of attention for months as a striker to watch in the summer transfer market. Tony joined Brentford, who were part of the 2020 Championship (Second Division), leading the promotion. In the 2022-2023 season, he proved himself to be a top striker by scoring 20 goals (four assists) in the EPL.

But Tony was engulfed in a dark history. In May last year, he was suspended for eight months by the English Football Association (FA) for violating betting regulations. He returned to the team in January, eventually slumping to four goals and two assists in 17 appearances. The suspension of business is after all. His skills are as good as ever. This is why many clubs want it.

In particular, Tottenham has been pushing for Tony's recruitment early on. It was judged that there was no suitable striker after Harry Kane's transfer. Hisalysong was full of foam. It didn't really help. This is why Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou was forced to entrust Son Heung-min with one-top.

Son Heung-min's one-top card was groundbreaking in the beginning. However, the limitations of the temporary measures were soon revealed. Postecoglou is also well aware of the situation. So, recruiting a clear striker is the biggest goal of the transfer market this summer. Tony could be the answer to that. It is the last year of his contract with Brentford, his current team. It is time for Brentford to offer a contract renewal plan or sell it at a high price.

In this regard, new information about Tony's future has been updated. Sky Sports reporter D'Amesh Seth said "Tony has an interesting situation. It certainly won't sign a new contract with Brentford at this point"Tony is definitely going to move to another team.

The key is the transfer fee. Reporter Seth said "Brentford is believed to want £60m. I want to sell it right away this summer, all the results are open. Once the Euro 2024 tournament is over, Tony's future will be clear."

Tony is a joint target between Arsenal and Tottenham. North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are also competing in the transfer market. Tottenham is in a more advanced mood. I have already reached a personal agreement with Tony, and I once offered Brentford £40 million and was rejected. If Tottenham increases its offer a little more, the contract is expected to be possible. £50 million is being offered at a reasonable price.
