Brentford striker Ivan Toney should join West Ham United in the January transfer window.

That’s according to Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood who has named West Ham as a good fit for Ivan Toney.

Interestingly, West Ham were linked with a move to sign the 27-year-old Brentford striker last season, but he remained with the west London outfit in the end.

However, Hammers boss David Moyes may now have his eye on the forward once again. He is currently serving an eight-month ban after admitting 232 breaches of the Football Association’s betting rules (Sky Sports), and that ban still has four months left to run.

Toney wants to leave the Bees and could cost around £50 million according to Fabrizio Romano. That’s an awful lot of money but Tim Sherwood thinks he would suit West Ham to a tee…

West Ham should sign Ivan Toney

Tim Sherwood was a guest on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday today (September 23rd, 1:25pm).

And he responded when asked which club should sign Toney this summer:

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

I think that the 27-year-old hitman would be absolutely perfect for the Hammers – what an incredible signing he would be.

However, it is highly unlikely that we’ll be spending that kind of money on a striker – especially not in January.

I would absolutely love Ivan Toney at West Ham, but there’s no chance of us signing him in my opinion.

I believe that Moyes will try to sign a striker next summer, but it’s more likely that he’ll sign someone from abroad or the Championship.
