Peterborough chairman MacAnthony: I'd be delighted if Liverpool signed Toney

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Liverpool should move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

MacAnthony sold Toney to the Bees, which are now looking forward to a first Premier League campaign.

He told the Hard Truth podcast: "I'm a Liverpool fan and I know my players. And I'd be delighted if we signed Ivan. Give me him over (Divock) Origi any day of the week.

Liverpool cross the ball with quality for fun and imagine Ivan getting on the end of those crosses from those full-backs!

“Obviously we've done well financially from Ivan's transfer and we could do better down the line, but I don't mind him staying at Brentford either as we get paid if they stay in the Premier League.

“Ivan is only 24/25 and not yet at the peak of his powers. I can see him scoring 15 goals for Brentford and I can see him playing for England next season.

“There's no way Brentford will be relegated either. They have an outside chance of a top 12 finish in my opinion. They have a good coach and they are a club who spend well who now have around £200 million to play with."
