Spurs news: Ivan Toney 'keen' on Tottenham move as Thomas Frank tipped to begin 'talks' | OneFootball

Doubts over Richarlison’s future could see Spurs dip into transfer market

Ivan Toney would be keen on a move to Tottenham, according to David Bentley.

He moved to the Middle East on Deadline Day last year, completing a £40million move from Brentford.

Now, former Spurs midfielder Bentley thinks that the forward would be interested in a reunion with his old boss Thomas Frank in north London.

The north Londoners are struggling with injuries in forward areas, with Dominic Solanke’s ankle problem persisting, and Randal Kolo Muani having an injury-ridden start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“The perfect environment is Tottenham. Tottenham could do with him and England as well - if anything happens with [Harry] Kane, we’re struggling a little bit for centre forwards.”

Toney, 29, had been heavily linked with a move to another Premier League club last year before he made the switch to the Saudi Pro League.

Bentley thinks that he would hit the ground running should he return to England.

“He’s a great player,” Bentley continued.

“Scoring goals in the Premier League is not easy and the way he plays the game, scores goals... he’s got to go to Tottenham, hasn’t he? Under Thomas Frank, he had a great time with him at Brentford and I’m sure they’re talking.

“I’m sure that’ll be the No1 destination for him to go in at. Tottenham are struggling with centre forwards at the minute, Solanke is out injured and Richarlison is not at the level he needs to be. He could be Tottenham’s new signing on loan in January.”
