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’.
Villa have just sold a player for 52 Mill so how do they need to balance the books by selling Duran??
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.
It’s just the normal every few days copy n paste repeat, repeat, on here now
Please sign him just what we are looking for
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 .
👍👍👍👍👍exactly
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.
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.
What a shame good quality sports writing has been replaced with this kind of clickbait, pointless journalism.
Progress eh
Yep …sad mate isn’t it
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.
Not even a bid …there full of **** mate
can you not see by the comments, hammers fans are sick of all this might / may / linked/ its rubbish, cant you try and be more professional and only report once things have been agreed?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I too would like to know how West Ham are intensifying and have in fact stepped up their pursuit of Ivan Toney?
These claims just seem to go around on a never ending loop.
Yup….infuriating isn’t it ….quantity rather than quality is this site now …
The last sentence sums these stories up.
How have we intensifying our pursuit of Toney? what have we done to make people believe this?
