Tottenham are interested in signing Brentford attacker Ivan Toney and they have now received a major boost in their pursuit of the England international.
Toney was away on international duty this summer with England and helped the Three Lions reach the final of the Euros.
The attacker has attracted the interest of some of the biggest clubs in England in the past, however, nothing has materialised for him in terms of a big move away from Brentford.
Only two teams are reportedly interested in Ivan Toney, therefore Brentford are ready to settle for less than £50 million for the striker, according to The Sun.

The attacker was being targeted by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea but they have since shifted their attention towards other targets.
Man United have already signed a new striker in Joshua Zirkzee, along with Leny Yoro as their defensive signing.
