SEALED DEAL: Tottenham has signed Ivan Toney’s a big congratulation

Ivan Toney has responded after he was jokingly asked if he wants to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.

The Brentford striker spoke to Kick Game after being banned for eight months for breaching FA betting rules.

Toney opened up about his ban while speaking to Craig Mitch before he was quizzed on his favourite strikers of all time, which led to him heaping praise on Harry Kane.

The England forward named former Tottenham strikers Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov as his first two picks, which prompted Mitch to ask him if he wants to make the switch to north London.

“Jermain Defoe,” Toney responded. “Half a yard, shoot on goal, nine times out 10 it’s a goal. He’s one.”

“Berbatov,” he added. “I like Berbatov. His first touch was the best touch I’ve ever seen.”

Mitch admitted after Toney picked Defoe that he is a Tottenham fan and it’s fair to say the Brentford striker’s picks went down well with the host.

And he jokingly asked Toney if he wants to join Tottenham.

“You’re picking all my Spurs guys man, I’m loving this,” Mitch said. “Are you basically saying you’ll come Spurs?”

“They have got one of the best strikers [Kane] already,” Toney responded.

Mitch then joked that Toney would pick Robbie Keane or Kane next, which promoted the Bees star to praise his England teammate.

“I’m just saying, you’ve picked two,” Mitch added. “Are you going to pick Robbie Keane next? I don’t know what’s going on here, you might as well just say Harry Kane.”

“To be fair, Harry Kane would be up there, he scores goals,” Toney said. “But I’d say Sergio Aguero.”

Toney was enjoying an exceptional campaign before his season was brought to an abrupt end.

He netted 20 times in 33 Premier League appearances while providing four assists along the way.

Of course, the Englishman is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines where he will be unable to train with Brentford until September and will not play until January.

Toney would have attracted plenty of interest this summer after a brilliant campaign under Thomas Frank, with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the market for a striker.

Yet, Toney made a great point that Spurs have already got one of the best strikers in the world on their books.

They will undoubtedly be hopeful that Kane commits his long-term future to the club. But should the England captain decide to run his contract down, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Toney emerge as an option for Spurs next summer.

Clément Lenglet proved to be a decent addition for Spurs, arriving on loan last summer. He did a reasonable job in what proved to be a miserable campaign for the club.

Tottenham set for Barcelona talks over Lenglet this week
Previous reports from Mundo Deportivo suggested that Tottenham want to sign Lenglet permanently. Lenglet however, wanted to see who Spurs would appoint as Antonio Conte’s permanent successor before making a decision on his future.

Of course, Ange Postecoglou’s arrival has now been confirmed. And with that, it seems that Barcelona are ready to hold talks with Tottenham.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barca want to sort Lenglet’s future this week. And thus, further discussions with Tottenham have been planned.

Tottenham fans will probably not mind the idea of Lenglet staying if the price is a good one. Unfortunately, Spurs seem to have a lot of work to do on their squad this summer. And thus, keeping those who performed fairly well this past year is probably now a must.

Lenglet cost Barcelona £32 million. So Tottenham will surely walk away if Barca want to recoup most of that. But if there is a potential bargain to be had, it makes sense for Spurs to make a move.

The fact that Barcelona want the situation resolved so quickly is surely a positive sign on that front.
