Tottenham and West Ham set to battle to sign Brentford star

Brentford are set to drop their asking price for England international striker Ivan Toney, due to a lack of interest, according to The Sun.

Toney, who has been away at Euro 2024 with runners up England, had been backed to make his big move this summer.

However, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all made it clear to the Bees that they have no intention to make an offer for Toney during the ongoing summer transfer window.

With those clubs seemingly out of the race, only two likely suitors remain for Toney, in Tottenham and West Ham.

Brentford had been hoping to receive a fee as high as £80 million for their star player this summer, but a shortage of interest has now seen that valuation drop to around the £50 million mark.

Toney returned to Premier League action for Thomas Frank’s side in January following an eight-month FA ban. The 28-year-old scored four goals and provided two assists in 16 starts over the second half of the season.

The England striker’s stock rose to its peak at the end of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, when he netted 20 goals, improving on his tally of 12 the season before.
