Thomas Frank reckons Ivan Toney’s outstanding form for Championship promotion chasers Brentford is worthy of comparison to England captain Harry Kane.
‘Now it’s 26 goals in the league, nine assists - crazy numbers in this league. It has also shown his all-round game because normally it’s only Harry Kane who can do those numbers,’ said Brentford manager Frank, following Toney’s penalty winner at Blackburn on Friday night.
Brentford identified £5million Toney, player of the year in League One last year after scoring 24 times in 32 appearances for Peterborough, as the replacement for Ollie Watkins, who moved to Aston Villa following Wembley play-off heartache last August.
