Toney’s impressive stats
Toney had an outstanding 2022-23 season, scoring 20 goals in 33 Premier League games, making him the third-highest scorer in the league behind Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
With over 350 appearances and around 200 direct goal contributions across the English Football League divisions, the 28-year-old Toney brings a wealth of experience and proven quality.
His addition could provide an immediate impact for Tottenham as they aim to strengthen their squad.
Toney is entering the final year of his contract, which expires next June. This situation suggests that Brentford may prefer to sell him this summer rather than risk losing him for free next year.
