Report: Premier League club will not give Spurs a discount on their star player
Sky Sports have revealed that Brentford have no intention of selling Ivan Toney to Tottenham on the cheap after Igor Thiago picked up an injury.
Thiago injury could impact Ivan Toney transfer
Thiago, who was brought in by Brentford earlier this summer to replace Toney, has now had surgery on his meniscus and is expected to be sidelined until the end of the year.
Sky point out that this could impact the Bees’ plans for Toney, who is now in the final year of his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Toney recently impressed for England on the international stage during a number of cameos off the bench at the European Championships in Germany.
Brentford could still sell Ivan Toney
The report says that Thomas Frank’s men had relaxed their stance recently after demanding a whopping £100m for their star man back in January.
However, following the injury sustained by Thiago, it is explained that the West London club have no intention of letting Toney leave on the cheap.
The outlet also goes on to add that while Arsenal had previously expressed an interest in the England international, the Gunners have now turned their attention elsewhere.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is interesting that Sky have not yet ruled out the possibility of Brentford selling Toney despite Thiago’s injury.
However, I do not think Spurs or any other club would want to break the bank for the 28-year-old as they would know that he can be signed for a lower fee in January or perhaps even on a free transfer next summer.
