# West Ham United: GSB allegedly eyeing Ivan Toney after ExWHUemployee claim

**According to a report by[the Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-chelsea-tammy-abraham-23588320), West Ham United have Brentford striker Ivan Toney on their radar and potential list of strikers for the summer – supporting [ExWHUemployee’s recent claim](https://www.patreon.com/posts/twhw-podcast-new-47390003?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_source=post_link&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWRpc19rZXkiOiJpbnN0YW50LWFjY2Vzczo3OTk1YmNkMy00OGIzLTRlZTAtOGJmNS05MzY2NDNiMzBkYTcifQ.7i42D6djJ7YnYDqFt-posVWz1qsJmTBJ0dXJ5CzkVWU) that GSB are in fact keeping tabs.**

Toney, who has enjoyed a [prolific season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/leistungsdaten/spieler/251664) in the Championship, is reportedly being eyed alongside the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Tammy Abraham – coming after West Ham failed to sign a striker in the January transfer window.

### Toney eyed by West Ham and GSB

David Moyes managed to secure Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United but little progress was made in terms of finding a replacement for Sebastien Haller, who departed for Ajax at the beginning of the window.

Now, [the Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-chelsea-tammy-abraham-23588320) have supported [ExWHUemployee’s recent claim](https://www.patreon.com/posts/twhw-podcast-new-47390003?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_source=post_link&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWRpc19rZXkiOiJpbnN0YW50LWFjY2Vzczo3OTk1YmNkMy00OGIzLTRlZTAtOGJmNS05MzY2NDNiMzBkYTcifQ.7i42D6djJ7YnYDqFt-posVWz1qsJmTBJ0dXJ5CzkVWU) that West Ham are keeping tabs on Toney and have him on their radar – with Nketiah and Abraham also touted as forward’s GSB hold an interest in.

The 24-year-old has come on leaps and bounds for Brentford, evidenced by his 25 league goals – six more than second place in the Golden Boot race (before tonight’s Championship action, [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/top-scorers)).

### Transfer Tavern take

Football Insider pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor recently urged West Ham to get a deal done for Toney. He claimed that the striker would ‘[100%](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-agbonlahor-toney-signing-is-big-threat-to-antonio/)‘ be a ‘[great signing](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-agbonlahor-toney-signing-is-big-threat-to-antonio/)‘ for the Hammers, going as far as to say Toney could even usurp Michail Antonio’s place in the starting eleven and give him some much needed competition ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-agbonlahor-toney-signing-is-big-threat-to-antonio/)).

West Ham appear to lack options in the forward department, but only time will tell whether GSB will make a more concrete move in the summer for Brentford’s rising star.
