Football Insider have claimed that Brentford could demand close to £100m for Tottenham target, Ivan Toney in January.
Over the last couple of weeks, multiple publications, including The Daily Express, have reported that Tottenham are one of the clubs eyeing a move for Toney in January once the striker’s ban lapses.
The outlet suggested that the Lilywhites are battling Chelsea and Arsenal for the 27-year-old’s signature, with the centre-forward alleged to have informed Brentford of his desire to seek a new challenge.
However, The Evening Standard reported on September 26 that Spurs are unlikely to get involved in a bidding war for the striker’s services, with Ange Postecoglou expected to prioritise other positions in January.
Brrentford’s asking price for Toney is near £100m
Football Insider have now backed up what other outlets have reported about Toney’s desire to leave the Gtech Community Stadium.
They state that the England international is set to become ‘one of the hottest properties’ across the Premier League when his ban is lifted.
It is alleged that even though the striker only has a little over 18 months left to run on his contract, the Bees value him at almost £100m.

We know that Brentford are not easy to negotiate with and they will likely demand a huge fee for Toney as he essentially guarantees 20-plus goals in the Premier League, which only a handful of other strikers in world football do.
There is no chance that Spurs would shatter their transfer record for the 27-year-old in January, particularly given that they are in much more desperate need of reinforcements in central defence and midfield.
