West Ham Step Up Toney Pursuit

West Ham United are intensifying their pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney as the summer transfer window progresses.

The Hammers have already made significant investments in the squad but are keen to further strengthen their attacking options. Toney, who enjoyed a prolific campaign before his suspension, has emerged as a prime target.

While Brentford have previously been reluctant to sell their star striker, there is a growing sense that the club may be open to a departure, especially with Toney’s contract nearing its end.

Lopetegui could certainly do with a new “no frills” number nine, so the club may put forward a firm bid.

West Ham are looking to remain ambitious in the current transfer window and are seen as favourites to sign Toney, although Tottenham Hotspur remain in the hunt depending on whether Richarlison stays in North London.

So West Ham face competition from Tottenham Hotspur for Toney’s signature, but the Irons appear to be determined to secure a deal. However, Brentford are expected to demand a substantial fee for the England international

    Where is the ‘stepping up’ of the pursuit of Toney in the article? It doesn’t exist. What a pointless ‘article’.

  • Essexiron67 says:

    Villa have just sold a player for 52 Mill so how do they need to balance the books by selling Duran??

    • John Ayris says:

      Because their next target is Joao Felix. and because they are not as high revenue as we are. Villa are currently punching above their weight. The £50M players in and out is the clue to things needing to balance.

  • Steve Clarke says:

    It’s just the normal every few days copy n paste repeat, repeat, on here now

  • Jh says:

    Saw the headline, knew it would be this Simon fella and knew the report would just be unfounded BS , surely from the comments you see every day its time to stop .

  • John Ayris says:

    Villa have just spent a club record £50M on Onana and will need to balance their books not now but at some future point. So they will sell Duran as is already their known intention. Buying Duran is our known intention so that is likely what will happen once the negotiating over amount to be paid, instalments and add ons has been concluded. That leaves the prospect of our paying what’s being asked for Toney as fairly remote.

  • Phil McDonald says:

    One thing is sure, we won’t be signing Duran AND Toney (if either). So if Duran is ‘close’ why on earth ramble on again about Toney? More guff.

  • Jon says:

    What a shame good quality sports writing has been replaced with this kind of clickbait, pointless journalism.

    Progress eh

  • My left foot says:

    Rubbish story….yet again. We’ve not even spoken to the player about moving to us. We’ll get Duran from villa, our top target.

  • jason says:

  • Hammeroo says:
