The ransom of striker Ivan Toney (Brentford), who Tottenham is watching, is falling. But Tottenham can't just laugh. It's because Tony wants a club that can win. Tottenham do not meet this standard.

The British press 'The Sun' reported on the 19th (Korea time) that Brentford is ready to cut the transfer fee with only two teams left wanting Tony in the transfer market.

It's good news for Tottenham who want Tony. But Tony said he wanted the `top club that wins trophies.' Tottenham have not won since 2008, so they need to be persuaded to bring Tony.



Authentic front-line striker Tony is the right resource for Tottenham at the moment. Tottenham desperately need to reinforce its No. 9 striker. As the number of competitors decreased, Tony's transfer fee fell to a very low level.

The Sun added 'Brentford is ready to cut Tony's transfer fee by more than 30 million pounds (about 54 billion won). Tony's transfer fee will be reduced to less than 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won)."



Tony, a highly promising striker in the Premier League, was suspended for eight months for illegal betting. He returned to the Premier League in January this year. Tony was the hottest striker in the winter transfer window.

Brentford had the guts to ask for 80 million pounds (about 140 billion won) for Tony's transfer fee. It was a huge amount close to England star Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).



However, no club offered Brentford to sign after hearing the amount. The Sun said 'Brentford was surprised at the lack of interest in Tony.

The Sun says recruiting strikers is not a priority for Arsenal this summer. Chelsea think Tony is too old. Manchester United have signed Dutch striker Joshua Girksey from Bologna. Brentford had been planning to sell Tony for a year and had already signed his replacement, so now things are urgent'

The Sun added: "'Tony wants to leave Brentford this summer but has repeatedly said his desire to join the best club to win trophies'

The Sun added: "'Tony may stay at Brentford to try to enter the big club on a free agent through the transfer window next summer. However, this is not what the club wants.

Meanwhile, Tottenham is keeping an eye on Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord) and Jonathan David (Lille) in addition to Tony.

The Sun predicted that `Tottenham will have to sell Hishalisson first to recruit other strikers.'
