West Ham urged to sign Top class strikwe ahead of Arsenal from club which may not be able to afford its wages again

West Ham United has been urged to sign Brentford star Ivan Toney, with the club’s former chairman Darragh MacAnthony calling it a “game-changing” signing that would be the best in over a decade for the Hammers. Toney, who has been linked to Tottenham and other top clubs, is available for around £50 million, and MacAnthony believes that West Ham should break the bank to sign him.

MacAnthony, who is also the chairman of Peterborough United, Toney’s former club, said that West Ham’s owner David Sullivan is a shrewd businessman who will try to get Toney at a bargain price, but he should be willing to pay top dollar for a player of Toney’s quality. He added that Toney’s signing would be a major coup for West Ham, and would be a better option than signing a foreign striker for £70 million who may not adapt to the Premier League.

Toney, who has impressed in the Premier League with Brentford, is seen as a key signing for West Ham, who are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season. The Hammers have been linked to several other strikers, but Toney is seen as the top target, and MacAnthony believes that his signing would be a major statement of intent from West Ham.

The signing of Toney would also be a blow to Tottenham, who have also been linked to the striker. MacAnthony believes that West Ham should do everything in their power to sign Toney, and that it would be a major coup for the club. He also expects Peterborough to receive a sell-on fee of around £3-5 million if Toney is sold to West Ham.

Overall, the signing of Ivan Toney would be a major boost for West Ham, and would be seen as a statement of intent from the club. With Tottenham also interested in the striker, it remains to be seen whether West Ham can pull off the signing of the summer.
