‘Good fit’: Danny Murphy thinks the ‘world-class’ striker would be a great signing for TottenhamIvan Toney’s future is a big talking point in the Premier League at the moment.

The Brentford striker is just months away from returning from suspension and, coincidentally, his return will coincide with the January transfer window.After such a fantastic season for the Bees last time out, Toney is reportedly considering a move to a top club, with almost every team in the top six linked.One team that has been linked quite heavily with Toney is Tottenham, and according to Danny Murphy, speaking on Five, this is good for both sides. Although Murphy stated at the same time that in his opinion the move to Chelsea is ideal for the attackerToney and Spurs are a good pairMurphy gave his opinion on the “world-class” striker. “I think it screams Chelsea, Ivan Toney, a friend of mine is a Tottenham fan and he said they would love him and I understand that, Tottenham seems to suit me too, but when I think about Chelsea and their best times I think with Drogba and Costa reminds me a little, strong, gets along with everyone, has nice feet and isn’t afraid of anyone. He reminds me a little of them,” Murphy said.Toney to Spurs is a move that seems very logical. However, it should be noted that this would be very difficult to do.As good as Spurs have been of late, they don’t have the resources or appeal of some of their top six compatriots, so if this becomes a transfer battle, Spurs could lose. It is not ruled out that Toney will go to Tottenham, but it must be said that it will be a complicated affair given the great competition there could be to sign the striker in the coming months.Toney is certainly a player to watch in January.
