Sheringham urges his club to sign Ivan Toney

Tottenham Hotspur legend Teddy Sheringham urges his club to sign Ivan Toney (28, Brentford). No more Son Heung-min (32) up top, he says.

‘Spurs Web’, which covers Tottenham news, reported on July 23 (KST), “Tottenham legend Sheringham singled out Toney as a striker who should be signed this summer. He claimed that Toney can lead the attacking line and help James Maddison and Son Heung-min spread out on the wings.”

The England international striker is a natural goal scorer. 안전놀이터 He’s not the link-up type like Harry Kane, but he’s no slouch when it comes to scoring goals. At 6-foot-2, he has solid physicality.

Toni made a name for himself in the 2020-2021 season. He led Brentford to promotion from the EFL Championship (England’s second tier) with 31 league goals and 10 assists. He was a key contributor to the promotion.

Toni continued to excel in the Premier League (PL).

Tony broke into the top flight in the 2021-2022 season and immediately hit double figures with 12 league goals and five assists. He hasn’t stopped finding the back of the net since, with 36 goals and 11 assists in 85 PL games.

Most notably, Tony scored 20 goals last season to finish third in the league in scoring. However, he was sidelined for a while in April last year when he was handed an eight-month suspension for betting violations. He was found to have violated betting regulations 262 times over a period of about four years.

He didn’t return until January against Nottingham Forest. But his skills were still there. Despite his long absence, he showed he still had a knack for goals with four goals and two assists in 17 games. He’s now with the England national team at UEFA Euro 2024.

Toni has long been linked to Tottenham.

Rumors of Spurs’ pursuit of him have been circulating since Antonio Conte’s time as manager, especially after the departure of Kane last summer.

Sheringham, who also played as a striker for Tottenham, has also been vocal about the need to bring him in. 슬롯사이트 순위 He believes that manager Enzi Postecoglou’s old trick of using Son Heung-min up top last season has its limits.

“Tottenham need a central striker. They need a goal scorer. You can’t keep playing Son Heung-min up front because he’s not suited to being a striker. He’s a player who plays alongside a striker like Kane. Maddison also needs a point of focus in the game,” he emphasized.

His solution was to bring in Tony. “I think Tony would be a good fit for Tottenham, he could probably go anywhere, Chelsea, Arsenal Tottenham,” Sheringham said, “I would love to see Tottenham get him, he has the qualities of a number nine leader which is very important for any team. He leads the attacking line well at Brentford and is always troubling opposing defenses.”

Tottenham’s search for a new central striker has been a constant topic of discussion since last season.

Kane left for Bayern Munich, and then came the disappointment of a center back. The mid-season goalscoring spree seemed to revitalize him, but a series of injuries kept him out.

Postecoglou had to rely on his ‘captain’ Son Heung-min. Heung-min’s natural position is on the left flank, but he was forced to play as a striker for most of the season. Despite the unfamiliar role, Heung-min did not disappoint, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in the league.

But his limitations were also clear. Realizing that they only had to stop him, opponents increasingly dropped back and focused on closing down space, which took away from his strengths and the Spurs attack quickly lost steam. There was a lot of criticism in England that Son was not a strong target man and that the team should stop experimenting with his talent.

For now, Postecoglou has said that he will continue to use Son in both the center and on the flanks next season. That said, the club is still prioritizing the signing of a striker. 바카라사이트 순위 Aside from Toni, Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord), Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth), and Albert Gudmundsson (Genoa) are all being considered.
