Report: Spurs like the look of two players from Brentford ahead of January window

It is no secret that Tottenham Hotspur are admirers of Ivan Toney, but the Brentford striker may not be the only player the Lilywhites attempt to lure away from the Bees. Apparently, Spurs are also keen on Christian Norgaard, too.

The summer transfer window brought about a lot of change for Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou wasting no time in adding players to his squad who would help him implement his style of play.

Those acquisitions were very successful, too. James Maddison has been one of the stars of the Premier League so far this season, while Guglielmo Vicario and Micky van de Ven have also shone in Tottenham’s impressive start to the campaign.

Postecoglou’s unbeaten run may be over after the defeat against Chelsea on Monday, but Spurs are still right in the mix at the top of the table. With this in mind, it’s thought the club may look to recruit further in January and maintain their title challenge.

According to Football Transfers, Spurs would be interested in signing Ivan Toney in the January transfer window, and may also raid Brentford for their club captain, Christian Norgaard.

It is thought Norgaard would help to “beef up competition” in the middle of the park, especially given the fact that both Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr are likely to head out to the African Cup of Nations in the New Year.

That area is thought to be a “major worry” for Postecoglou, but it is said Norgaard’s “ability to read the game and break up attacks” would be of huge benefit to Spurs. Norgaard’s leadership qualities are also believed to be something Postecoglou “particularly admires.”

As expected, Spurs are also “very interested” in Ivan Toney. The striker is thought to be keen on a move away from Brentford, but competition for his signature will be fierce.

I had never really considered Norgaard as an option, but he would be a brilliant fit for Spurs. He’s a real battler who likes to do the dirty work, but he’s also got a touch of class and finesse about him, too.
