Shocker. Ivan Toney’s (Brentford) transfer fee has allegedly been halved in the summer transfer window.
Florian Plettenberg, who works as a transfer market expert for Sky Sports Germany, tweeted on his social media account on Wednesday (Nov. 11), “Toni could leave Brentford this summer. The current transfer fee is said to be in the region of £30-40 million (approx. 510-680 million).
The news that Toney will be on the market this summer is not new. However, the £30-40 million price tag has been widely expected.
Brentford are said to value Toney at £100 million. The transfer fee was widely expected to be in the region of £80 million.
Plettenberg added: “A lot of Premier League clubs are interested in him. Chelsea and Arsenal are keeping a close eye on him,” he said, 안전놀이터 adding that “West Ham have also made enquiries, but it’s not a hot topic at the moment.
The Sun gave a mixed view, stating that Arsenal have lost interest in Toni.
Although Plettenberg did not mention it, Tottenham and Manchester United are also keeping tabs on Toney.
United acquired Rasmus Højlund for £72 million last summer, and he scored seven goals in 23 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) in his first season. It’s not enough to keep him, and the alternative is Toni.
Tottenham haven’t signed a striker to replace Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), either, so filling his void is still an option.
Tosun was suspended for eight months by the English Football Association in May last year for 232 gambling violations.
His suspension was lifted in January, but his ‘form’ hasn’t.
Toney returned to action on Jan. 21 against Nottingham Forest, where he immediately turned on the goal fireworks, scoring four goals and providing one assist. He was recalled to the England squad for two back-to-back A matches in March, and found the back of the net.
Tony’s potential exploded after his move to second-tier Brentford in 2020. He scored 31 goals in the Championship in the 2020-2021 season to help Brentford win promotion to the top flight. He followed that up with 12 goals in the EPL in 2021-2022 and 20 last season.
Fans are also very interested in the ‘half price’ transfer fee. Fans are reacting to the price with comments such as “That’s really cheap,” 바카라사이트 추천 “Swap him for (Marcus) Rashford,” and “Chelsea should go for him at that price.
