David Moyes urged to sign Premier League striker who may be looking to change clubs soon

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has urged West Ham to go out and sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

Sherwood said about Toney on Sky Sports News (via HITC):

“I think West Ham.“I think he is a perfect David Moyes player.”

Currently serving a ban imposed by the FA due to betting-related charges, Toney’s availability on the pitch will be limited until mid-January 2024.

Last month, Toney changed his agency, switching to CAA Stellar agency which is well-known for representing some of football’s biggest names, including the likes of Jack Grealish and Eduardo Camavinga.

The switch of agency itself indicates that the player is planning a move.

Other Premier League clubs are also interested in him with Tottenham and Chelsea both said to be keeping close tabs on him.
