This is the football show Ivan Tony is sure to be a player in demand this summer and it could be good news for peterb United they have a sell on Clause after selling Tony to brenford in 2020 their owner Darren mcanthony told us there is much more to come from the

Striker at club and international level I think haven’t done this for 18 years and scouted and scouted players not just for their technical ability but their personality and the growth that’s in them at a certain age I think he’s not even in his prime even though he’s

Turning 28 because of the type of Striker he is where he’s not your running behind he’s a bit of everything I think he could he’s he’s one of those players where his best football is ahead of him and I think when you look at clubs that’s not me trying to sell them

Because we’re getting a sell on I’m giving you an honest answer here I honestly think I’m a Liverpool fan I love Darwin Nunes I know I look at our Strikers I’m like if Liverpool went and got him as well I was just like he turns Man United into a

Challenger for the Premier League I think I’d said Arsenal originally needed to buy him in January to win the Premier League I could end up being wrong there they could end up winning um I think there’s five clubs probably in the world who could end up buying them and he

Would improve any of those clubs by a mile I think he improves England I think everything about him as a character a player I think whoever buys him 100 million be well spent because if you’re going to player and coming into his prime you’re going to get five six years

Of his best and I think when he scored a goal every other game in the Premier League for brenford God bless brenford what they’ve done but you put them in a team in the top five or six with the chances career they’re always trying to compare into Dolly Watkins put Ivan in

An Aston Villa team under Emory and see how many goals he scores in the Premier League he’d probably be up there for the Golden Boot you know put him in an Arsenal team put him in a Liverpool or Man United Team he scores 30 Premier

League goals in a sleep in a season and I think anyone who disagrees with that hasn’t been watching the last two and a half years and a no brainer for Germany all day long are you kidding me this guy’s your he’s not only one of your best attackers he’s the best defender

You’re one up late in a game and you know Gareth can be a little bit cautious when you’re leading in a game you got 10 minutes to go he’s the type of player you bring on who defends from the front because just in Corners alone he’s not your best defender you can take

Penalties better than anyone even though his first penalty ever was missed for us against barnesley years ago and he can score a goal and he’s as close to Harry Kane as you’re going to get Watkins is that running behind threat different type of player yeah to know if G okay

Leaves Ivan Tony at home this summer no comment H we shall see if it’s going to be no comment John Sam uh back with us as closest to Harry Kane as you can get says Darren mentony do you see him getting a big summer move um yes I think

I think brenford should sell if he’s not going to sign a new contract because he’s only got one year left on his contract so this summer will be the last time to get a big fee for him if they don’t need doesn’t sign that new deal he’ll obviously be able to leave for

Free next summer the reported figure that brenford want is somewhere between 80 and 100 million I’m not really sure that they’re going to be able to get that he’s 28 years old he’s only scored four Premier League goals this season and obviously that’s because he was unavailable for the first half of the

Season but I think there will be teams that will want him I think Arsenal and Chelsea we’re going to look in a bit about where he might fit I think Arsenal and Chelsea or obvious candidates who might want a number nine I disagree slightly with Darr mcanthony there

Saying Manchester United or Liverpool I think they’re quite well set with number nine Ras hland darn Nunes Manchester City obviously don’t need him with erling harand so I don’t think there’s that many teams who a could afford him and B actually need him but if there’s

Any time to sell it’s definitely now for brenford I think he definitely wants a move just the way he’s been talking I think he even sort of was talking about Real Madrid a few weeks ago I mean and also brenford has sort of resigned to losing him they’ve already spent 30

Million on the new Striker Eagle Thiago who’s playing at Club Brugge at the moment he’s got 26 goals this season and so he’s sort of being build as the potential replacement but I do just wonder about the price because brenford have shown down the years that they can

Drive pretty hard Bargains I mean when they’re in the championship they got 63 million pound for olle Watkins and S Ben Rama remember they were in the championship and last summer they got3 million for David Ry which is pretty much the deal they wanted for him so you

Know if it sounds like they might be able to get the price they want for Tony and if it’s 80 to 100 million I do wonder if someone like Dominic salanki is probably you know a bit younger probably a bit cheaper it’s probably a better option for SI looking for a

Number nine yeah but that Dar mcanthony there Michael did mention Arsenal and Manchester United so how does he compare with what they’ve got come on over let’s have a look let’s have a look at Arsenal first and what they’ve got up front and maybe many said that Arsenal maybe just

Could have done a bit more on Sunday against Manchester City but look at Ian Tony here 11 games four goals and one assist of course Ivan Tony returning in January Kai havs still Arsenal fans maybe 5050 some really warming to him now eight goals and three assists Eddie

And keer 24 games primarily Off the Bench five goals and two assists and Gabrielle Jesus maybe people wondering there if marsal potentially might be replacing him in the summer 20 matches four goals and three assists let’s have a look then at Manchester United would he fit there

Now rasmas hland the big money move he started brilliantly in the Champions League wasn’t really working for him so far in the Premier League but he’s done really well over the last few months seven goals he’s a pretty decent return in his first season in the Premier

League and of course Marcus Ratford has featured throughout the season seven goals so far this is just Darren MC’s view on Arsenal Manchester United I think it’s pretty clear that Ivan tiny won’t be at brenford next season Thomas Frank has pretty much said it to myself and colleagues over the last few months

At press conferences but where he end up we don’t know just yet okay where where would be a good fit then you were both saying that perhaps man united no because of what they’ve got Arsenal for a replacement for Gabrielle Jesus as as Michael was suggesting there or Real

Madrid well yeah I think you say Real Madrid I think they’re probably the only Club outside the Premier League that would maybe even be able to afford it I PSG as well who potentially want to a number nine but it seems to me like he’ll probably stay in the Premier

League if you’re ruling out city and Liverpool probably man united as well because they’ve got hland you’re kind of looking at Chelsea or Arsenal I think then you think Chelsea well potential they say that there’s no issues with uh profit and sustainability rules but with the amount of money that they’ve spent

The fact that they’re probably not going to be in Europe again you wonder can they afford to spend money on someone like Ivan Tony Arsenal as well probably could afford it but there’s a lot of another number nines out there Joes Victor oan Alexander isach has been

Linked with Arsenal as well one team that I think he might fit in is Tottenham now I’m not sure that Tottenham would spend the amount of money that it would take to sign Ivan Tony but they don’t really have a recognized number nine rich charison and

Son better out wide or off the front man so they’re the kind of three teams where I’d think he’d fit whether any of them will actually move for him I don’t know it’ll be fascinating to see I’m actually not sure where he fits because you know we talk about Arsenal the Premier

League’s top goal scorers they’re not exactly screaming aside who’s who are sort of going oh we need a number nine right here right now and they’ve got plenty of Strikers Kai havit Leandro trossard Gabrielle jayus I mean Manchester United they seem to have invested a lot in Rasmus hland as well

He’s found his feet would Tony want to come in and potentially be a number two I’m not really sure about that City and Liverpool he won’t start Aston Villa I think they’ve got Ole Watkins so you’re right Joe I think Tottenham is probably the most realistic team if he wanted to

Play champions league football who could go for him but would Levy spend the money so I can’t see too many options for him unless he goes to Europe but actually don’t be surprised if potentially he ends up staying at brenford for the last year of his contract it won’t suit brenford in terms

Of not getting a transfer fee for him but Thomas Frank has said in the past that if he stays for his last year of his contract great because brenford will then have their number nine sort of fit and available yeah I I I wonder whether close your eyes now I wonder whether a

Good Euros I can see it semi-final against France he scores the winning penalty in the penalty shootout and then goes and does the same in the final yeah whatever but I mean first of all will he go to the Euros could he have a good Euros that would depend on

Harry Kane maybe being injured or or something like that so but that would certainly up his price in his profile wouldn’t it it would help wouldn’t it sounds like a great sub that Rob I um I would be very surprised if he didn’t go to the Euros it’s surprising really to

Me that we put so much stock and managers put so much stock in these international friendlies such as the ones that England played against Brazil and Belgium but there’s so few International games that I guess managers like G Southgate do have to play so a lot of stock in those games

Ole Watkins has didn’t have a great game against Brazil Tony did play pretty well against Belgium and obviously got his first International goal if you look at their stats in the Premier League per 90 Ole Watkins is just having a better season than Ivan Tony that’s obvious but if you look at their

Again a limited sample size but the games that they’ve played for England Tony has actually massively outperformed Ole Watkins in all sorts of metrics goals per 90 Ariel Jules W all those sorts of things so I would be surprised if Tony doesn’t go he might take them both potentially Watkins could maybe

Play slightly um further out wide potentially but then you also look at the the penalty Factor as well Tony’s so reliable from the penalty spot England have had issues from the penalty spot in major tournaments before of course whether the Southgate fat are the in I

Don’t know but I would be surprised if he doesn’t go Tony but Harry Kane is quite clearly the number one Striker I think he goes over Watkins if it’s a 23 player Squad now there have been appeals by some International Teams to make it a 26 player Squad that we’ve had in the

Last two tournaments in which case I think Tony definitely goes if it’s 26 but I mean you could just see against Belgium how much the England players really enjoyed playing with a Harry Kane style Striker which is Ivan Tony you could see him coming deep the Wingers

Jared Bowen and Phil foden they were playing at the time they got on the ball a lot more and of course yeah the penalty like if you think about that backup role for England Harry Kane’s going to play every single minute for England the Euros so the backup role you

Have to sort of you know it’s those sort of you know marginal game moments like penalties like balls into the box which is where Tony uh is better than Watkins at and Watkins had so many chances for England you’ve just got that feeling that GTH Southgate doesn’t

Quite rate him that Brazil game for starts he didn’t have a brilliant game and then Tony came in and did much better so yeah I think if it’s a 23 player Squad Tony will go over Watkins I think
