Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham explored signing ‘world class’ player this summer
Tottenham Hotspur were one of the biggest spenders in the summer transfer window.
Indeed, Spurs spent over £100m acquiring the services of Domin﷽ic Solanke, Wilson Odobert and Archie Gray.
Solanke was the single biggest signing of the summer in the Premier League, but, Tottenham did look at signing alternative options.
Indeed, speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ange Postecoglou has now admitted that Tottenham did look at signing Ivan Toney in the summer before his move to Al-Ahli.
Tottenham were linked 𒀰with Toney during the window, and now, the Spurs manager has confirmed that those l♚inks were genuine.
Tottenham looked at Ivan Toney
Poste♒coglou admitted that Spurs lo🍒oked at signing the ‘’ striker.
“We looked at him (Toney) but the reality was that Dom is the one that I wanted. It took the whole summer to get him in but he was the one that fitted the profile that we wanted,” Postecoglou said🦹.
Ivan Toney would’ve been a better signing than Dominic Solanke
Postecoglou says that he wanted Solanke rather than Toney, but there’s a strong argument 🍎to make that Toney would’ve been the better signiꦚng.
Yes, Solanke did score more goals last season, but Toney has bཧeen scoring in the Premier League for a lot loᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnger than Solanke.
Toney was picked for England ahead of Solanke in this summer’s Euros for a reason, and as he eventually moved for £40m to Al Ahli, he would’ve been c꧟heaper than Solanke in any case.
Solanke hasn’t had the brightest of st🎶arts to life at Tottenham, failing to score so far for Spurs, but💛, of course, it’s still very early days.
Solanke could prove to be a fantastic addition to this Spurs team, but when you look at both players’ records and the respective pricetags, there is an argum🌳ent to make that Toney would’ve been a better buy than Solဣanke this summer.
