Former Tottenham defender names player that would take the club to the next levelGetty
Spurs need to strengthen ahead of new season.

Tottenham could be taken to another level by the signing of England striker Ivan Toney, says one former player.

Spurs missed out on the Champions League places last season and eventually felt the void left by Harry Kane's departure in the summer, without an out-and-out number 9 in their squad. 

Talking to Best Online Poker Sites, their former defender Alan Hutton believes that to compete at the top end of the Premier League, the club needs a new striker - and has earmarked Brentford's Toney as the perfect target. 

“I think if Spurs want to properly kick on next season and challenge for the top four, they need to get a striker,” said Hutton.

“Ivan Toney would be my top choice. I know people have mentioned the likes of Dominic Solanke but I think Toney gives you that something different – it feels like he plays as if he’s bulletproof.
 
“Having lost Harry Kane, if they went and got Toney this summer, he’d be the one to take them to the next level.
 
“I think with regards to the rest of the positions, Ange Postecoglou should just be looking at strengthening the squad, a backup left back for example – although Destiny Udogie has been brilliant. There are just spots within the squad that need beefing out a little bit.”
